TRADITIONAL UKRAINIAN NEW YEAR’S DANCE \"MALANKA\" took place on Saturday, January 24th, 2009 at the Ukrainian Cultural Center “DNIPRO” at 562 Genesee St. in Buffalo, NY.

This year we had the best Malanka since 1991. The hall of DNIPRO was packed. Music was provided by Ukrainian band “VECHIRKA” from Rochester. A lot of Ukrainian youth from Rochester came to Buffalo to dance with music of their favorite band. We also had Ukrainian visitors from Canada, Syracuse and Cleveland. Delicious buffet dinner was included into a ticket price. Some Americans were invited by their Ukrainian friends to the Malanka and they were amassed by KOLOMYJKY dance by our young people. One man said: \"I wish I would have a culture like that\".

Everyone that came had a great time with their friends and family and they can\'t wait until Malanka 2010.
