With war raging, ballroom dance connects Ukrainians at Madison studio to their home
There’s a dance studio owner in Madison who has been recruiting instructors to come work with her. Many of them are from her home country: Ukraine. As war has wages on in the eastern European country, these instructors have moved 5,000 miles across the world to start new lives in Wisconsin. Dance is one way they stay connected to their Ukrainian culture. WPR’s Jonah Beleckis visited the Fred Astaire Dance Studios to learn what dance means to these Ukrainians.
