The Chudovyi Ukrainian Dancers of Innisfree have been very busy of late, and continued its longstanding tradition of hosting the annual Santa Tea on Dec. 12.
President Lisa Anderson said it was unfortunate the club had to reschedule the event from Dec. 8 to Dec. 12 due to the winter storm that hit the community. “As a club we decided to do it on our regular dance night since all the groceries were purchased and everything was planned.”
Roughly, 100 people came out to support the event. Of the 27 dancers in the club, 25 were able to perform on Dec. 12. Anderson said, “The reason the event began was to get our dancers prepared for dancing in front of an audience and performing on stage. Also, to bring a Christmas event to our community.”
The club’s biggest fundraising event of 2025, Malanka, will be held in mid-January and the dancers will be working hard during rehearsals to impress family, friends, community members and special guests for the upcoming celebration.
