In 2023, KOLO will continue its multi-city tour in the U.S. major markets of Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, and several other markets to be announced.

The first of its kind, KOLO is the brainchild of award-winning, Ukrainian-bred competitive ballroom dancers and partners, Iaroslav and Liliia Bieliei, both natives of Kyiv, Ukraine who now call Los Angeles home. Serving as executive producers of KOLO, Iaroslav and Liliia are widely respected in the dance sport community with over 25 years of experience and renown. Both Liliia and Iaroslav are US National Champions, US Open Champions and World Show Dance Vice-Champions. Iaroslav began his dance career at six years of age and has been named Ukrainian National Champion, US National Professional Rising Stars Champion, as well as winner of the prestigious UK Open Championship in England. Liliia began her ballroom dance career at just four years old and has racked up prestigious awards including Ukrainian National Champion, European Championship finalist, famous International Championship winner in London, UK.

Additionally, many of the day-to-day KOLO staff are based in Ukraine – bridging the connection between the world, a country amid turmoil: yet illustrating a narrative that speaks to the indomitable nature of the modern Ukrainian spirit.

“We are deeply honored to present the KOLO Dance Show to the world,” shares Iaroslav and Liliia Bieliei. “The upcoming North American Tour has been our dream ever since we began to dance in our home country of Ukraine. Ballroom dancing is such a beautiful form of Art and we have produced this performance to showcase the artform, the music and the extraordinary visuals that truly have never been presented. This groundbreaking show will allow audiences not only to be immersed in a once in a lifetime experience into our rich and diverse culture, but also witness the Ukrainian pursuit of freedom in the cycle of modern history.”
