| | Dancers celebrate 40 years of Roma Pryma-Bohachevsky's work (12/05/04) |
 | | Bohachevsky's balletic ethnic stylizations, the women's dancing was light-footed, graceful and replete with dizzying pirouettes; the men executed bold squat steps and exciting leaps and jumps with strength and agility. |
 | | Lonkevych, director of the newly founded Roma Pryma-Bohachevsky Foundation of Ukrainian Dance, thanked all the dancers and backstage participants for "the fantastic show you've put on." She extended thanks also to her father, George Bohachevsky, who was present at the concert despite poor health, and to her husband, Mark Lonkevych, for their unwavering support. |
 | | Studies with distinguished dance masters Valentina Pereyaslavec, Martha Graham, Katherine Dunham and José Limon influenced her choreography, leading her to weave Ukrainian dance with classical ballet and create a stylized ethnic art of dance. |
