YOU CAN’T KILL THE DANCE

THE UNITED UKRAINIAN BALLET

We are the United Ukrainian Ballet. Coming from different ballet and dance institutions all over Ukraine, we are united by the tragedy of war in the city of peace. We found refugee in the Royal Conservatory, we moved to a new location in Kijkduin in the former HCO
(Haags Centrum voor Onderwijs) . And this is where we keep dancing. From here we travel the world to perform and tell our story. Through everything – the fear, the tragedy, the dislocation – we have found joy, embraced life and kept the dance, and the cultural soul of our nation, alive.

We fight gravity.
We fight rigidity.
We fight our own limits.
We fight the ugly.
The evil, the deadly, the inhumane.
We fight with beauty.
Discipline. Love. Music. And muscle.
United we dance against war –
Our art stronger than artillery,
Our souls immune to soulless violence.
You can’t kill the dance.
You can join it –
and stand for the best
of being human.
