✨ Performance ✨

On Sunday, our junior and middle groups took to the stage for the Boże Ciało celebrations, and once again they reminded us why we love what we do.

The whole day was beautifully organised and brought us a touch of Poland. Thank you to everyone involved in bringing this day together. We are always honoured to be part of it.

Behind every dance is weeks of practice, plenty of laughter and a lot of determination. Seeing it all come together in front of our community makes us incredibly proud.
To our junior and middle dancers, thank you for bringing so much joy to the stage. You represented Podhale beautifully, and we couldn't stop smiling while watching you.
You are the future of our group, and what a bright future it is.

We also thank our beautiful Henry Iglinski for his ongoing commitment to putting history in pictures. We are truly blessed to have you and are immensely grateful for your work.

A very special congratulations to Aurelia and Zofia on their first performances with Podhale at the Boże Ciało celebrations at Our Lady of Częstochowa Queen of Poland, Marayong on Sunday 7th June.

Stepping onto the stage for the first time is always a big moment, and both girls did a wonderful job.

It was also a special day for their families.

Aurelia now joins her brother Julian in the junior group, while her dad Filip continues the family tradition as a member of our senior group.

Zofia joins her brothers Henryk and Janek in the junior group, with her parents Michał and Abbey both dancing in the senior group.

Congratulations Aurelia and Zofia. We are so happy to have you as part of our Podhale family and we can't wait to watch you continue to grow as dancers.

Happy Dzień Dziecka to all our wonderful Podhale kids!

You bring the laughter to rehearsals, the excitement to performances, and plenty of memorable moments along the way. Watching you grow in confidence, make new friends and proudly dance in costume is one of the most rewarding parts of being in Podhale.

We are so lucky to have such a beautiful group of children who keep our traditions alive while having fun, being themselves and making us smile every week.

To all our Podhale children, we hope your day is filled with fun, laughter, treats and all your favourite things.

On Sunday 24th May, Podhale had the privilege of performing at St Gertrude’s Catholic Parish to celebrate Father Jacek’s 40th Anniversary of Priesthood.

It was a very special afternoon and a beautiful way to honour someone who has given so much to the community over the past 40 years. Father Jacek’s kindness, dedication and care for others has touched so many people and it was an honour for our dancers to be part of such an important celebration.

Congratulations Father Jacek on this incredible milestone. We wish you many more years filled with health, happiness and blessings.

✨ Mother's Day Luncheon✨

A few lovely moments from last Sunday’s Mother’s Day Luncheon and Father Antoni Dudek's 50 years of priesthood, featuring our junior, middle and senior groups.

It was such a nice afternoon celebrating with the community, performing together and sharing Polish culture across all age groups. From the youngest dancers to the seniors, everyone did a wonderful job.

Thank you again to everyone who came along and supported the event.

Also a reminder that Podhale will be at Bunnings Smithfield tomorrow, Sunday 24th May, for our fundraising BBQ from 9am to 4pm.

Getting up on stage for the first time is always a big moment and Anthony did an amazing job. We loved seeing him dance alongside the group and be part of such a special afternoon at the Mother's Day Luncheon.

It is always exciting welcoming new dancers into the Podhale family and watching their confidence grow with every performance. Anthony now joins his brothers and sisters as part of the Podhale family.

Well done Anthony. We are all very proud of you.
