About Space
A creative space for movement and self-expression
Soul’s Ark is a creative space where dance, movement and community come together.
We offer dance programmes for children, teens and adults, alongside gentle movement sessions focused on relaxation and emotional balance — creating a place where people of all ages can grow, express themselves and feel more connected.
Dance Programs
Discover Movement, Culture & Connection
From children’s folk dance to expressive movement for women, our programs inspire confidence, creativity, and emotional wellbeing through music, rhythm, and community.
Balamuty Group
Fun and energetic dance classes for children aged 4–14, divided into two age groups. Young dancers explore Ukrainian folk dance, creative choreography, and different dance styles in a supportive and joyful environment.
Zorya Group
A women’s dance group for ages 15+ focused on movement, expression, and connection. Classes combine traditional inspiration, modern choreography, and supportive circle practices that nurture confidence and emotional balance.

A gentle movement space for women of all ages where dance becomes a path to relaxation, renewal, and inner strength. No experience needed — just music, movement, and a chance to reconnect with yourself.
About the Founder
Founder, Choreographer & Community Leader
Soul’s Ark was founded by Ganna Voloshchuk — a choreographer, cultural advocate, and community leader passionate about creating spaces where people can connect through dance, movement, and creativity.
After moving to the UK during the war in Ukraine, Hanna dedicated herself to supporting children, women, and families through culture and artistic expression. In 2022, she founded the Balamuty dance group in Reading, bringing together young Ukrainians from different regions of Ukraine and helping them stay connected to their roots through dance.
Under her direction, the group has performed across the UK at festivals, charity events, and cultural collaborations, sharing Ukrainian traditions through both authentic folk dance and modern stylised choreography.
Today, Soul’s Ark continues to grow as a creative community project focused on emotional wellbeing, self-expression, and cultural connection for people of all ages.
