The Jagiellonian Fair Dance Party
When the fair’s hustle and bustle calms down and day gives way to night, the fair’s attractions do not end. On the contrary, for many the most important part of the programme only beings, that is the Jagiellonian Fair Dance Party.
Crisp evening air gently caresses our faces, above the wooden dais swing colourful bulbs and the bands play lively tunes. This is the context in which our cares disappear, everyday reality falls into oblivion and what remains is the joy of dancing. Obereks, kujawiaks, polkas, waltzes, walked dances, processional dances – they will all appear during our dance evenings. And it does not matter whether you are an expert on or a newbie to traditional dances. What matters are your will and enthusiasm, what matters is dance alone!
This year, we will dance to the tunes played by the Jagiellonian Fair Orchestra,
Kapela Dobrzeliniacy and Maria Stępień, Zawołany Skład Weselny Band, Tęgie Chłopy Band, Marcin Lorenc Trio, The Brass Orchestra from Goraj, Jan Wochniak Band, Kapela Pauli Kinaszewskiej, Kapela Eugeniusza Skrzypka from Zdziłowice.
