Overview An Evening of Polish Folkdance and Song is presented by the Mazury Dance Company of the Polish YMCA in London. The company was founded in 1949 and today consists of over 120 dancers. Mazury’s performances over their 70-year history range from charity fundraising and social events to shows at prestigious UK and European venues to audiences of thousands accompanied by their own Kapela (folk band). Mazury have performed for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and several other heads of state, and have entertained the Prince and Princess of Wales. In 1992 Mazury took part in the celebrations in Poland marking its return to a free and independent country, and represented Poland at the Foreign Office on the occasion of Poland's entry into the EU. Mazury have appeared on television and toured extensively. They have performed at most of the main London dance venues and participated regularly in prestigious festivals at home and abroad, displaying their vast collection of colourful regional costumes.
