STOWARZYSZENIE PRZYJACIÓŁ DZIECIĘCEGO ZESPOŁU TAŃCA LUDOWEGO MALI GORZOWIACY

Ogólne informacje

The "Mali Gorzowiacy" Folk Dance Group from Poland was established at the Youth Community Centre in Gorzów Wielkopolski in 1981.
The members of this group, about 160 persons, are children and youth in the age of 5-21 from the local schools.

There are three concert groups in different age with their own programme which can last about 60 minutes each of them:

* the oldest-group I - age of 15 to 22
* teenagers-group II - age of 13 to 15
* the children-group III - age of 10 to 12

We have got the folk band which consists of professional musicians.

Gorzów Wlkp. as a Polish town was inhabited after II world war by people from different parts of country. And that's why The “Mali Gorzowiacy” presents folklore of those regions, including their characteristic elements such as: dances, songs, costumes, instrumental band composition, cries, dialects. The group presents Polish National Dances having the special place in the history of our country, as well . Those dances came into existence during the partition of Poland in the nineteenth century. They became the symbol of Polish cultural independence and national spirit. Both musical and dance forms are very developed and make inseparable integrity.

Group leaders, while preparing the artistic programme, seek to adapt the programme to the age and performance abilities of the members. Moreover, they work to develop youth interest in music and dance and to improve their knowledge of different folk regions of Poland. One of the goals is to perform Polish folk dances and songs on the stage. The group has participated in several International Folk Festivals.
The “Mali Gorzowiacy” is the member of the CIOFF.

* Krzysztof Szupiluk – director, choreographer
