Zorepad, meaning Shooting Star, started back in 1976 in Troy, NY under the direction of Mrs. Roma Pryma Bohachevsky. In the 1980's, the group was moved to Watervliet, NY where it currently resides. For over 30 years, the ensemble has also studied under many guest instructors from NYC, hand picked by Mrs. Bohachevsky herself.  Zorepad received steady instruction in the early 2000's from local news anchor, Lydia Kulbida until 2017, HVCC Assistant Professor, Peter FIl up until 2020 and licensed Physical Therapist, Adrienne Fil up until 2023 - all were former Syzokryli Ukranian Dance Emsemble members with the legendary, prima ballerina, Roma Pryma Bohachevsky. Zorepad now continues under the artistic direction of Lucas Lewyckyj.

The ensemble could not have continued on without the help and dedication of Lydia Kulbida.
