Meet the Ukrainian ballerinas dancing to preserve their country's culture.
"I'm lucky to hear the voice of my mother, only by phone, but I hope everything will be okay," said dancer Maryna Apanasenko. "I've been very scared," he said of his family, who still is in Kyiv. He added that he missed his sister's wedding in person and had to attend via video chat.
Apanasenko and Moroz are among the 35 dancers with the Kyiv City Ballet. The dance company left Ukraine in February to perform in Paris. Director Ivan Kozlov said they were only supposed to be gone for three weeks, but thatTo keep them safe, Paris granted the dancers a residency allowing them to continue to travel, launching their first ever U.S. tour that spanned 15 shows.
Moroz said their performances have been received"absolutely good" by American audiences. Apanasenko agreed, saying that"the language of dance is international.""We feel sorry that we cannot be in two places at the same time," he said."We represent our country. We're trying to show how brave we are, how strong we are.""I feel stronger when I dance to show the world our light, our energy," she said.
