In month November, 2009 Folkloristic Group “Wielkopolanie” participated in artistic project which involved visiting kindergartens and schools of Wielkopolska and showing historical dances to the pupils. Artists presented to gathered kids how people were dancing on courts and castles in France, Burgundy, England, Italy or Poland. During the whole tournee group members performed dances of Renaissance, Baroque and XIX century. Audience had many possibilities to see inter alia pavane, gaillard, minuet, polonaise, gallop polka and many, many more. The most awesome thing for major part of audience was possibility to try to dance French’s branles danced in past epochs, witch was showed by happy faces and great applause in the end of auditions. During their 42 concerts Wielkopolanie visited Żydowo, Gniezno, Kobylnica, Murowana Goslina, Tarnowo Podgórne, Przeźmierowo, Poznań, Śrem, Wroniawy, Wolsztyn, Tłoki, Chorzemin, Mrowino, Roklietnica and Dopiewo. Nevertheless, his is not the end of their tournee. From 04 of January 2010 “Wielkopolanie” will visit schools and kindergartens of Wielkopolska and present dances from past days again.
