The Totem Dance group[1] (TDG) is one of Ukraine's contemporary dance companies. The company was founded in 2010 by Kristina Shyshkaryova in Kiev.
It consists of two branches and specializes strictly on modern dance and closely related disciplines.
The Totem Dance group includes a dance group, modern dance school, and festival program management team. The group consists of highly professional dancers, who are led by the creative director Kristina Shyshkaryova. In addition, the basis of Totem Dance group's staff comprises eight dancers; each of them is also a choreographer and teacher. TDG constantly invites independent professionals in the spheres of dramatic art, dance art, cinema and circus art to organize mutual projects.
Teachers of the TDG school adhere to European and author's methodologies. They have a clear and precise structure of training, and every group has its own training program.
There are nearly 80 students visiting the Totem dance school; most of them are students of specialized educational institutions. Students of Totem dance school frequently participate and take prize-winning places at various fests and contests (IFFE,[2][3] Dance-festival 2013[4]).
TDG frequently organizes intensive master classes for dancers, choreographers and trainers, which are attended by students from all over CIS places. Totem Dance group collaborates with world-wide known professional trainers and pedagogues (Natalia Iwaniec,[5][6] Erez Zohar[7][8]).
