Myroslav Vantukh is a prominent Ukrainian choreographer. The source of inspiration for his dance compositions is the artistic traditions of his native Galician region, which he skilfully combines with world dance experience. As the head of the P.P. Virsky Ensemble, M. Vantukh combines the experience of a teacher and educator with a deep knowledge of folk traditions and rituals. The multifaceted creativity of the ensemble under the direction of the academician has become a hallmark of Ukrainian art far beyond the borders of Ukraine. During his creative life, M. Vantukh created and staged nearly 50 choreographic productions, suites, dances, and pieces, many of which (including "Carpathians", "Summer of Youth", "Ukrainian Men's Dance with Tambourines", "Ukrainian Greeting", "Kozachok", "Volyn Polka", "Hopak", "In Peace and Harmony", "Gypsy", etc.) were included in the Ukrainian choreography collection fund. M. Vantukh carefully preserves P. Virsky's wonderful productions, which our contemporaries can still admire today. And with his personal work, the artist extends the beauty of Ukrainian dance. His incendiary, bright, perfect choreographic compositions, both in form and content, have gained worldwide recognition.
