Sikorski Polonez (Song and Dance group)
The Sikorski Polonez, is dedicated to promoting and preserving Polish culture through the artistry of traditional dance. Our primary focus is the Polonaise (Polonez), a distinguished Polish national dance recognized by UNESCO on the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Founded in 2017 by Violetta Skrętowska Jabari, our group has proudly been part of the Sikorski Memorial House in Glasgow since 2021. The group embodies a deep passion for showcasing the elegance, history, and symbolism of the Polonez. Through our performances, we aim to highlight not only the dance itself but also the music, costumes, and cultural narratives that accompany it. Our historical costumes represent various eras of Polish history, illustrating the evolution of national identity and artistic expression.
We proudly perform at national and international events, including folk dance festivals around the world, where we share the beauty and richness of Poland’s cultural heritage with diverse audiences. The Sikorski Polonez Dance Group continues to serve as a cultural ambassador, fostering appreciation for Polish traditions and their enduring contribution to the world’s cultural tapestry.
Meeting time and contact
Our group dances the polonaise in various choreographies and sings Polish folk and patriotic songs. Adults of all ages are welcome to join the group, and our rehearsals take place on Fridays from 7 p.m. to 9 pm. at the Polish House in Glasgow.
