RECORD-BREAKING OCTOBER 2008


After that success dancers began two artistic tours with auditions in Greater Poland and
Lower Silesian’s schools & kindergartens. 86 facilities had a chance to acquaint themselves with Greater Poland’s folklore as well as with dances from the south of Poland and ballet. Under the title “Southern Poland’s Folklore” “Wielkopolanie” presented costumes, music and dances from the regions of Silesia, Rzeszów and Eastern Cracow yet they didn’t forget about their region. They displayed great range of traditional and characteristic musical instruments. Kindergarteners and students could familiarize themselves with instruments such as “kozioł weselny”, “kozioł czarny”, “sierszenki” and “mazanki” (all of them are types of bagpipes).


During the whole tour “Wielkopolanie” didn’t forget about elderly spectators. That is why they performed at the Seniors Meeting organized by City Hall in Poniec.

In the middle of the month tournament couples competed in Polish National Dance Tournament. Participation was rewarded with the 1st place in IVB category for Magdalena Effert & Jan Galasiński. In IVA category Hanna Jaworska & Marcin Lewandowski took 4th place and Paulina Stocka (Children’s Folkloristic Group “Cepelia -Poznań”) and Mikołaj Szymański took 6th place.

Hard work and success – both of them make dancers and management of Folkloristic Group “Wielkopolanie” very happy.
In the November artistry of “Wielkopolanie” will be presented to citizens of India. It will be 90th artistic journey in group’s history.
