Polish troupe to perform in Youngstown

The internationally-renowned Mazowsze Folk Song and Dance Ensemble is coming to Youngstown for the first time in 30 years on Dec. 5.

The Morley Building will be the site of this national Polish folk song and dance ensembles’ first-ever, public folk song and dance workshop in the United States from noon to 5 p.m.

As a result, dancers and singers are talking about coming into the region for this opportunity.

This event was negotiated this past summer when PolishYoungstown was in Poland and met with directors of the troupe at its headquarters.

This five-hour session will not only introduce participants to the creative minds that make this group legendary, but also provide them with the practical information and step work they can incorporate into your own troupes, choirs and children’s groups when they return home.

That evening, the 18-piece orchestra and 20-piece choral will be performing as the entertainment at the Polish Arts Club of Youngstown Annual Wigilia Dinner at The Youngstown Club.

This event is open to the public and tickets are $35 for adults and $15 for children.
