A memorable concert In a very happy and exciting dance program at the High School of Fashion Industries auditorium on April 24, the Ukrainian School of Dance of Ss. Volodymyrand Olha Parish of Chicago portrayed the enchantment of the Carpathian Mountains and presented a dazzling array of stylized and folk dances from various regions of Ukraine. The performers, radiant in colorful costumes, represented three divisions of the Chicago school — Sonechko, the beginners, Blyskavytsia, the pre-teen and teenage dancers, and Hromovytsia, the adult performers, most of whom are university students and young pro­ fessionals. The two-part program was a repeat performance of the presentation given a week earlier in Chicago. Both concerts were dedicated to the work of Roma Pryma Bohachevsky of New York, honoring her as a distinguished dancer, former prima ballerina, talented choreo­ grapher and teacher. Mrs. Bohachevsky, who began her Marta Kolomayets career in Lviv at an early age, founded The girls of the Hromovytsia ensemble perform "The Wreath of Flowers" dance. her own School of Ballet and Ukrainian Dance in New York in 1964.

The 119 dancers are Ukrainian kids and young adults from all the Ukrainian parishes — Catholic and Orthodox — of the Chicago Area, youth from all Ukrainian organizations — Plast, ODUM and SUM-A - and ranging in age from 6-year-olds to young adults. This concert, titled "The Dancing Generations," was dedicated to the renowned prima bellerina and talented choreographer Roma Pryma-Boha- chevsky, who has dedicated her life to the training of young Ukrainian dancers. Many of the dances in the concert program were choreographed by Ms. Bohachevsky. Ms. Bohachevsky has transmitted her great love and knowledge of the art of Ukrainian dance to her enthusiastic young students, as was aptly demon­ strated by this concert. One week later, the performers pack­ ed their bags, gathered up all their costumes, and headed for New York, expecting to repeat their successful concert before a great audience of Ukrainian New Yorkers. The concert in New York, on April 24 in the auditorium of the High School of Fashion Industries, was an artistic success, and was greeted with acclaim. However, emotionally and financially it was a disappointment, to put it mildly. Whereas the concert in Chicago was well-attended, with 2,268 tickets sold, the concert in New York had a total of 412 attendees. The troupe of young performers sacrificed so much money and time, including two days of school, to give a concert in New York, this "foremost" A dance from the Lemko region of Ukraine.
