This year, something significant happened.
Zabava Folk Dance South Australia- a newly formed ensemble under Prima Nota-
made its debut at Folk Pancake Festival Maslenitsa SA 2026
with a work fully choreographed and directed by youth.
Created in only a few months,
the performance reflected initiative, discipline, and artistic leadership.
Choreography: Sofia DeMond
Performers: Igor Zarubin · Ilya DeGroot · Sofia DeMond · Lisa Zarubin · Conan O’Donnell · Fionn O’Donnell · Humphrey Roberts-Gonzalez
At Prima Nota, we believe cultural continuity is built by empowering the next generation not just to participate but to lead.
Zabava’s debut is a reminder that leadership grows when trust and opportunity are given.
This is how new artistic chapters begin.
