What an unforgettable week in Poland! 🇵🇱❤️
Just last week, Polanie Song & Dance Ensemble had the incredible privilege of participating in the 20th Światowy Festiwal Polonijny Zespołów Folklorystycznych w Rzeszowie—our 10th time taking part in this amazing celebration of Polish folklore!
The week kicked off on Thursday with a full day of rehearsals alongside fellow dancers in Blok C, led by the wonderful Pani Agata Czeluśniak-Głąb. Friday brought the colorful Korowód (parade), where we danced our hearts out through the streets in the hottest weather of the week!
On Saturday, we traveled to Kraczkowa to perform alongside Zespół Pieśni i Tańca Ludowego PATRIA as they celebrated their 35th Anniversary. After an incredible performance, the celebration continued late into the night—so late that we finally had to leave because our bus driver had been patiently waiting for us!
Sunday was another special day as we performed in the Rynek with the rest of our Blok C, surrounded by family, friends, and even our new friends from Kraczkowa, who cheered us on with handmade signs every time we took the stage. ❤️
Before we knew it, it was time for the spectacular Gala Concert. After a full day of rehearsals and a quick hour to get ready, we proudly performed the Mazur, choreographed by Pan Janusz Chojecki, followed by a beautiful Kujawiak z Oberkiem on the main stage. We were also thrilled to have Sylwester Grega join the festival choir on stage for “Pije Kuba do Jakuba.”
Of course, the celebrations didn’t end when the performances did! We made memories, strengthened friendships, and celebrated our shared Polish heritage until the very last night.
Now the countdown begins until we return in three years! 🇵🇱✨
We have so many more photos and memories to share, but for now, enjoy these beautiful moments that were captured and shared with us throughout the festival. Stay tuned—there’s much more to come!
