About Kolos - Regina Ukrainian Dance Ensemble

What Makes KOLOS Different?

All dancers are instructed by Alla Hutsol. This ensures the best foundation for all of our dancers.
Simplified fee structure. $30/month per hour per week of instruction.
Flexibility in commitment levels. Dancers in more senior levels can dance 1 to 3 hours per week.
Family-oriented group, where parents play an active role in the organization.
All levels perform competitively and have numerous opportunities to display their talent. We try to balance competitions with performances and community service.

Fees, Fundraising and Scheduling

At KOLOS, we’ve moved away from a complex structure of fees and fundraising. There is one monthly fee that is paid from September to May (9 months). Members can offset the balance through fundraising credits raised throughout the year. Bingos are an optional fundraiser.

Your fees are based on a rate of $30 per month, per hour per week of instruction. So if you register for 2 hours per week, your fees are $60/month. If you register for 5 hours per week, your fees are $150/month. In the more advanced classes, dancers choose to dance 1, 2 or 3 hours per week based on their personal commitment. Alla will build the dances and practice schedules around the dancers. The more hours your dancer practices, the more dances they perform.

Hair should be secured back into a bun.

Footwear
All dancers are required to wear proper footwear at all times. Stocking feet and bare feet will not be allowed for safety and health reasons. Specific footwear requirements will be provided atthe beginning of the year.

Attendance
It is extremely important that students and parents understand that regular attendance is essential. Absenteeism not only affects the student's own progress, but also impacts on the other dancers in the class. During certain times, some additional practices may be called in order to prepare for performances. We ask that you give this consideration when planning other activities, particularly those in the spring. Students who will miss a class must notify the Instructor, phone (306)359-7833, at least 30 minutes prior to the class. If a dancer is unable to attend a major performance, the Instructor must be notified at least 30 days prior to the event. Dancers who miss more than 8 classes may be removed from dances or may be asked to discontinue.

Instruction
All classes are instructed by Alla Hutsol.
