Are there Ukrainian women who enjoy more than just dancing and ice skating

[capricorn rising]

I'm talking about women in their 20's. I enjoy classical music, opera, ancient history, psychology, mysticism. I have trouble finding people with my same interests in the US.

Perhaps you could tell a bit more about yourself and look at the post of Katerina. ...
As for your interests, they are to be found in the young generation in Ukraine (why only Ukraine?) but just like in the US it will not be mainstream.

Sure, there are But it depends on educational and social level. You could rarely find those younf women in night clubs, but you can look for in museums and theaters.

Not sure why you'd limit yourself to Ukraine. The very slight effort to get a Russian visa is well worth the additional millions added to your potential dating pool.

 I doubt even 50% of Ukrainian women have even been ice skating it the last 10 years. I did not even realize it was popular here. I don't recall any of those that I talked to even mention it.

Esty is on to something, it depends on where you look. There is enough interest that each year the country conducts the Ukrainian Figure Skating Championships to discover the best in Ukraine.



Many apartment communities have something that look like this:





This is a self contained playground that sits in a courtyard area and is surrounded by several apartment buildings. It is used by children as a small soccer area and also unseen to the left is a basketball hoop. In the winter, city crews will come by after temps have fallen and they'll use a hydrant to fill the bottom with water so that in winter it can be used for playing hockey and for ice skating.

One of the first things I saw in Moscow, as it's very close to the Metro station nearest to my hotel.

Frankly, I doubt that many women in their 20`s in any country are much interested in classical music or opera etc. but their will be some. (and not likely found in nightclubs, as mentioned)

Exactly. There are millions of women with your interest. But much less in the 20's. Your tastes are more refined than many younger people will have had exposure to, I think.

Those ballroom dance classes which often begin in primary school and continue at various times until graduation, come in handy at the graduation ball and/or "last bell" activities when older students dance with each other, teachers and sometimes parents.





I'm posting information on "last bell" activities in another thread.

[mendeleyev]

Watch the dancing at 2:23. These kids have learned well.

[mendeleyev]

By the time they graduate, some of these kids are pretty good dancers. There is a thread on "last bell" as schools across the FSU are generally uniform in their calendar year.

If you've wondered why there is such interest in dancing in the FSU, it is because the art of dancing is started at an early age in school settings:
