Our beautiful tradition that we love and deeply respect is shown in the national and regional dances, marvellous outfits as well as timeless choreogroaphy supervised by Jadwiga Hryniewiecka, the founder of our ‘Harnam’ Dance Ensamble. The past and the present of the dance ensemble are: by passion, love for dancing, youth and energy, all of which are omnipresent during our trainings and stage performances.

Performance synopsis
The melody, rhythm and pulse of the dance we will see and hear during the concert are melodies deeply rooted in our hearts. We know them, if we are sometimes unsure of their origins. During this evening we will explore five traditional and folk dances: the Polonaise, Krakoviak, Kujawiak, Oberek and Mazur. Thanks to these, the audience may feel just what the dancers feel – the heartbeat of Polishness.
