Kaitlin began her Ukrainian dance career at five years old with Rossdale Ukrainian Dance School, and little did she know, that first 1-2-3 would shape her life path. She danced with Rossdale for 12 years before joining Troyanda Ukrainian Dance Ensemble in 2010, about the same time she started instructing with Rossdale. With Troyanda, she has travelled across Canada and Eastern Europe, including Ukraine. From 2017 to 2018, Kaitlin lived in Ukraine studying dance, culture, and language. Her love for Ukraine and its traditions grew even stronger, and she loves sharing this passion with her dance students.

Amy began Ukrainian dance at the age of 4, dancing with the Two Hills, Innisfree, and Vegreville Sopilka Ukrainian dance schools out of Alberta for a total of 13 years. She then went on to dance with the Volya Ukrainian Dance Ensemble for one year but unfortunately due to injury decided it was best to hang up her dancing boots. After a year off, her love of Ukrainian dance could not keep her away from dusting off the boots and snatching up the opportunity to travel and perform in Ukraine with the Sopilka Ukrainian Dance Ensemble in 2005 for one last year of dance. After a long break from the world of Ukrainian dance, Amy returned as an instructor with Rossdale Ukrainian Dance School in 2017 with hopes of many more years to come!

Sasha started teaching with Rossdale in 2021. He has been a dancer most of his life, completing his Cecchetti senior certificate through the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School's recreational division. He also danced with Troyanda Ukrainian Dance Ensemble for five years. Other pertinent knowledge might be that he’s a Capricorn, with a Gemini moon, but is often mistaken for a Libra. He also thinks he’s funny.
