Please join the Polish Mission in Orchard Lake, Michigan as we welcome spring at our Polish Folkloric Show and Tea on Sunday, April 18. Our event features the POLANIE Song & Dance Ensemble, who will perform a Polish Folk Dance and Fashion Show. The program opens with Chopin's Polonaise A-major “Polonaise Heroique” followed by the Mazur, Krakowiak, Oberek, and Kujawiak. The dancers will explain the traditional costumes and dances from 15 different regions. The Finale will be the Marzanna - Welcoming of Spring. The drowning of the Marzanna straw figure is a traditional folk fest in Poland. The festival is a symbolic welcoming of spring and burial of winter. The ritual hails from Slavic folklore. This fundraiser tea includes Polish refreshments with kompote, a pleasant lightly-sweetened fruit drink, and pastries.
