The greatest film about Ukrainian folk dancing ever made! It follows the unique, high-flying ‘underground’ world of Ukrainian folk dancing in present day New York City. An often funny look at what its like to grow up in a Ukrainian-American community, keeping ties to your heritage and culture in an increasingly modern world (including speech of Roma Pryma Bohachevsky).
