Pryvit

Pryvit (Welcome, Ukrainian: Привiт) is a Ukrainian dance popularized or created by Pavlo Virsky.[1] In it, the dancers preview dances and the various representations or regional folk costumes which will be seen later in the performance. At some point in the dance, the audience is welcomed by one or more dancers bearing wheat, bread and (sometimes visible, but always implied) salt.[1][2] It is performed by amateurs and professional Ukrainian dance ensembles as well as other performers of folk dance.

The bread, salt and wheat represent the land's fertility to Ukrainian people.
