Our Story: Ukrainian Dance Teachers in Denmark

New Generation Dance was founded by Maksym and Svetlana Tsymbal – professional dancers, choreographers and teachers who brought 25 years of dance education with them from Ukraine to Denmark.

From Ukraine to Copenhagen

After the war in Ukraine began, Maksym and Svetlana made the hard decision to start again in Denmark. Their goal was clear: to build more than a dance school. They wanted a community hub where people of every age and background could meet through dance.

25 years of experience

Over 25 years Maksym and Svetlana have trained hundreds of students in styles from hip-hop to classical ballet. Their students have succeeded in both amateur and professional dance, on stage and in competition.

Our philosophy

We believe dance is more than steps. It is a way to express yourself, grow in confidence and connect with other people. We give every student high-quality teaching that develops their own talent, in a supportive and inclusive group where everyone belongs.

A true new generation

Dance runs in the family. Maksym and Svetlana’s oldest daughter, Nicole Tsymbal, is also a trainer at the studio and teaches alongside her parents.
