I think that every person with secondary education knows this dance perfectly. The polonaise is a traditional and oldest dance in our country, currently performed during Prom (an event 100 days before the high school leaving exam). In Poland, we attach great importance to this event (as well as, of course, to the exam itself) and we learn dancing in the last year of high school. The music of the Polonaise was inspired by the piano Polonaise "Farewell to the Homeland" in A minor by Michał Kleofas Ogiński (1794) and is currently danced to the version from the soundtrack of the film "Pan Tadeusz" composed by Wojciech Kilar.

Google sais: "polonaise, in dance, dignified ceremonial dance that from the 17th to 19th century often opened court balls and other royal functions. Likely once a warrior's triumphal dance, it was adopted by the Polish nobility as a formal march as early as 1573 for the coronation of Henry of Anjou as king of Poland." It is also a genre of music. F. Chopin composed 18 polonaises. The name "polonaise" in French means "Polish". It is always the first dance at proms. Every generations dance it. Me too in the early 90. We learn it at PE the last year at high school. You can change steps/figures. They do not always look like in this video.

Hi, basically, it's an opening dance for studniówka - a ball ~100 days before big final exams at the end of high school. The ball itself is held in late January, but that depends on school/availability of location etc. And we do spend a lot of time practicing it - basically from the start of said school year (september of previous year) :)

Polonez Ogińskiego, wstyd😅

[@samoht.p]

In Poland, when you graduate from high school, there is a "Studniówka" from the words "hundred days" (the prom 100 days before the high school final exam). Students who graduate from school apply to learn this dance and in the last year of school they learn it. Not everyone appears because they wouldn't fit. Polonaise is our national dance. It is also called Polish dance or court dance. There is no high school prom that does not start with Ogiński's polonaise. Many schools have dance groups that learn Polish regional dances. Plus outside of lessons. I have friends who studied this. This polonaise was composed by the famous Polish composer Michał Ogiński, who was born in 1765. The piece is titled "Farewell to the homeland" (the most famous Polish composer who wrote polonaises was the world-famous Fryderyk Chopin). I personally didn't dance the polonaise, but many of my friends from school did. It is a kind of honor.

[@jarekdutko6708]

Wake up! The "Oginski's Polonaise" hasn't been performed at schools since 2000 because of the Wojciech Kilar's composition in 1999. Since then all the "Studniowkas" begin with the new version of the dance which is really old and traditional in the Polish culture. The Ogiski's Polonaise is beautiful but is no more used by celebrating graduations.

[@worldcitizen181]

O rany, historia tańca poloneza sięga 14-stego wieku i jest to uroczysty taniec salonowy, który pierwotnie był tańczony na dworach szlacheckich i nazywany jest też chodzonym bo jak sam widzisz tancerze chodzą. Krok poloneza jest prosty jak konstrukcja cepa i nauczysz się go w 15 minut. Gorzej jest z choreografią bo każda choreografia jest układana pod konkretne uroczyste wydarzenie albo jest wodzirej, który nadaje kierunek i figury tańczenia ale wtedy musisz znać podstawy tego tańca czyli krok i ewentualną możliwą choreografię bo wtedy wodzirej głośno mówi jaka będzie następna figura taneczna ale to już wyższa szkoła jazdy. Tak poloneza naucza się w szkołach i właściwie od przedszkola. Każdy Polak chociaż raz w życiu tańczył poloneza, a kto chociaż raz w życiu nie tańczył poloneza to znaczy, że nie miał w swoim życiu przynajmniej jednego ważnego uroczystego wydarzenia gdzie składową wydarzenia był taniec. Poloneza tańczy się przy ważnych uroczystościach. W Polsce powszechnie są znane dwie kompozycje poloneza. Pierwsza to Polonez Ogińskiego pod nazwą "Pożegnanie Ojczyzny", a drugi to polonez z filmu "Pan Tadeusz" w reżyserii Andrzeja Wajdy. Obydwie te kompozycje możesz znaleźć w YT. Translation google Gosh, the history of the polonaise dance dates back to the 14th century and it is a ceremonial salon dance that was originally danced at the courts of the nobility and is also called the chodzony because, as you can see for yourself, the dancers walk. The step of the polonaise is as simple as the construction of a cepa and you can learn it in 15 minutes. The choreography is worse because each choreography is made for a specific event or there is a leader who gives the direction and the figures of the dance, but then you need to know the basics of this dance, i.e. the step and the possible choreography, because then the leader tells you out loud what the next dance figure will be, but this is already a higher level. This is how the polonaise is taught in schools and actually from kindergarten. Every Pole has danced the polonaise at least once in his or her life, and anyone who has not danced it at least once in his or her life means that he or she has not had at least one important ceremonial event in his or her life where dancing was a part of the event. The polonaise is danced at important ceremonies. Two compositions of the polonaise are widely known in Poland. The first is Oginski's Polonaise called "Farewell to the Homeland", and the second is a polonaise from the film "Pan Tadeusz" directed by Andrzej Wajda. You can find both of these compositions on YT.

[@joannadeptula1935]

It’s true that most people will know the basics of a polonaise dance but believe me, what you see on Studniowkas are carefully choreographed and practiced for hours. It’s a great event in life which marks the last days of fun before everyone gets down to preparing for their A-levels exams (equivalent) and is a bit of a coming-of-age thing too. These balls are always taking place in January which coincides not just with the 100 days before the exams but also the carnival time.

[@jozeffurman9343]

"are carefully choreographed and practiced for hours" To absolutnie prawda, ale niestety dawno już nie widziałem poloneza zatańczonego z taka pełną gracją, podstawowy krok jak najbardziej poprawne, ale prawidłowo to poloneza dosłownie się nie chodzi a praktycznie "płynie" gdzie gesty rąk a zwłaszcza nóg są pełne miękkości i gracji, niestety dziś jest już sztuką by młodzież choć te podstawy opanowała- dobre i to bo dzięki temu choć jeden narodowy taniec ma szansę "fizycznie" niezaginąć 😉

[@izabela5097]

Tradition. This is the dance that begins the fun 100 days before the high school leaving exam. It is organized by students of each school. They used to be in schools, now they rather stay in rented rooms or restaurants. Mine was in the wedding hall of the Fire Department ;-). We practiced a month earlier.

[@grazynaklimowicz7105]

This polonez was composed by Wojciech Kilar (1932 - 2013) to film "Pan Tadeusz" of Andrzej Wajda.

[@jannawalany5942]

I learned the Polonaise in kindergarten. After that, I was just waiting to dance at prom or any other very important occasion. I danced twice. Recently, this dance was included on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

[@pannamimi7452]

In primary schools children often also learn this dance and perform it on special occasions such as Independence Day.

[@katkacerasvs]

Polonez is a noble dance. We also have some folk dances, they have totally different atmosphere. I believe this is a traditional dance for opening a ball. You can see it for example in the final scene of the movie 'Pan Tadeusz' where it's opening a wedding.

[@MiziakMwa]

Worth to notice, etymology of word "Studniówka" word. Without diving in coplicated polish wordmaking long story short is: "Stu" dervie from word "Sto" which mean "one hundred" and "dniówka" is form word "dzień" which mean "day". So, entire word roughly translated mean "one hundred days before adultness exam"(exam part is in hidden context). In fact tradition in polish high shools is to organize this event more or less 100 days before adultness exam.

[@milidka]

This polonaise was composed 24 years ago by Wojciech Kilar for the film "Pan Tadeusz" - a film adaptation of our national epic from the 19th century.

[@kamilkosior9900]

Ah "Polonez" kiedy to było 😊😢

[@MayaTheDecemberGirl]

Wojciech Kilar, who composed this music, was a worlwide known composer of classical and film music (he died in 2013). He composed also music to some well known Hollywood movies, for instance of such film directors as Francis Ford Coppola, Roman Polański, Jane Campion and others. And this polonnaise (in Polish: polonez) music was used in a movie titled "Pan Tadeusz", directed by Andrzej Wajda - this film director received in 2000 an Oscar prize for his whole life work as a film director.

[@Jagodamusa]

This particular music composition comes from the 1997 movie "Pan Tadeusz" and it became so widespread that these days you hardly hear other polonaise compositions during studniówka (the prom).

[@marcello3430]

In every Polish high school 100 days before the graduation (in Polish 'matura', the maturity exam) there is a ball, the first real 'adult' ball dance fot the graduates, and it' s traditionally opened with the old Polish noble's dance - polonaise. That's how symbolically Polish kids enter into maturity. Weeks of rehersals, but the result is always great.

[@Liwaj42]

We learn it at school for a full semester before the dance! It's called "Studniówka" from "sto" (a hundred) and "dni" (days), and it's supposed to be 100 days before graduation! You learn it mostly as a voluntary after class activity, as the whole ball is voluntary (you have to pay for it so you don't have to go if you don't want to pay, there are always some people from the class that wouldn't go). Often when there are recordings from Studniówka, some classes make trailers that are funny skits made by the students, we had a whole scenario about us stealing the school's patron's portrait from the main entrance of the school :D

The polonaise dance (aka the Polish walk dance) is the essence of Polishness. We usually dance it at least once in life, at our prom (I also had the opportunity to dance it on a posh wedding in Warsaw, where the couple decided to open the party with a polonaise and get everybody involved) instead of choosing traditional first dance. These young people must have practised for months (it is usually the sports teacher who ends up as the prom choreographer 😂). The polonaise dance dates back to some 16th century, but this particular piece is a modern one, although addresses the old times (was written by Krzesimir Dębski as a part of the soundtrack to the movie "Pan Tadeusz, based on the Polish national poetic epopea).

[@jakubdziadkowiec3973]

In january, I'm gonna have my own "Studniówka" party and I already started learning Polonez

[@ulllaaaklara]

Yes, we do practice this in school about a month before Studniówka. Every year, every school creates it's own "version" of Polonez, but they are very similar.

[@bernadetta1993]

I think main information were written already. Polonez is polish national dance. Its time is going probably for XV century and it was usually for noble people (thats why Polonez is also known as court dance). It's all about 1-2-3-dap rythm - all this walking is up to dancers. This dance is also included in our national poem Pan Tadeusz and you can probably find polonez from film adaptation. The tradition you see is the opening dance of Studniówka - a ball that means all students have 100 days until their final exams (some say let's party and then you have 100 days to learn). They practice before, of course. Interesting fact - in Lwów there is a school that continue this tradition even if Lwów is nowadays not Polish. 😊

[@wuuemm]

Music, created by Wojciech Kilar comes from the movie by Andrzej Wajda (1999), based on the Polish iconic national epos "Pan Tadeusz" ("Sir Thaddeus") written by the famous poet Adam Mickiewicz in 1834 (when Poland was not present on the map and Mickiewicz himself was forced to emigrate to Paris). The polonaise is the culmination of the poem, is danced in the front of residency of a patriotic Polish nobleman, as soon as Polish soldiers serving in the Napoleon's army arrived in their homeland in 1812. What you can see, called "studniówka" is a traditional Polish ball (prom), an event organised c.a. 100 days before final exams at high schools (that's why such a name, "sto dni" means "hundred days"). So everyone is obliged to be festively, officially dressed. The polonaise always begins the whole event. Dancing in the first couple, leading all others, is considered a distinction and is usually composed from a manager of a vice-manager of a school and a chairperson of a student council.

[@martaszewczak7515]

"Studniówka" this is a ball about 100 days before the Maturity Exam in grammar schools, like for example high school. Polonaise is a court dance clocked for three, but contrary to a waltz (where accent is for one), in polonaise accent is for three. Another name of polonaise in Polish is "chodzony" (walking). Many Polish musicians composed polonaises, like for example Michał Kleofas Ogiński (Farewell of the Homeland), Fryderyk Chopin, Stanisław Moniuszko (aria of Sword-bearer in "Hounted Manor" opera), Wojciech Kilar, even Russian composer Tchaikovsky. This polonaise was composed by Wojciech Kilar to the movie "Pan Tadeusz" by Andrzej Wajda as director. Another court, nobleman dance is mazur (mazurka) - it's contrary to a polonaise very fast dance, please see mazurkas in Stanisław Moniuszko operas "Hounted Manor" and "Halka" (pre-verismo opera). Mazurkas composed by F. Chopin are mixture of mazur with Polish folk dances called kujawiak (rather slow) and oberek (very fast).

The base of polonez are those steps: 1 2 3 and on 3 you bend your knees a little bit. The rest depends on the choreography (like changing directions, circles, changing pairs). Some schools have much more complex choreography and other much simpler. I danced it on my studniówka but also on the ball at the end of the primary school (I had 8 classes primary school).

The polonaise (i.e. "Polish" in French), together with another of the five national Polish dances, the mazurka/masurka, was fashionable at European courts and aristocracy balls in the 17th and 18th centuries, and in fact until the mid-19th century (then new dances dominated the balls, especially the waltz and quadrille). However, until modern times in Poland, polonaise was danced at balls at the opening of the ball, and the mazurka at the end (even if many other dances were danced in between, such as waltzes, tangos and foxtrots). Today, at balls (this time especially at high school prom balls and on special occasions), the dignified, solemn polonaise is danced at the beginning of the ball. The mazurka, which is more difficult and lively, i, is danced less often, but many young Poles also learn it.

Polonez is not only music and dance but also is a motor vehicle that was developed in Poland in collaboration with Fiat and produced by Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych from 1978 to 2002. It was based on the Polski Fiat 125p platform with a new hatchback design by Giorgetto Giugiaro. It was available in a variety of body styles that included two- and four-door compact-sized cars, station wagons, as well as commercial versions that included pickup truck, cargo van, and ambulance versions. Production totaled more than one million units excluding the pickup truck and van variants.The Polonez was marketed in other nations and was popular in its domestic market until Poland joined the European Union in 2004. In 2021, about 33,000 vehicles were still registered in Poland.

This composition is Oginski's polonaise entitled "Farewell to the homeland", probably the most frequently performed polonaise. Recently, the Polonaise was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

[@KARMAZYNA]

I danced it twice in my life. :)

[@user-eb6id4bi9r]

It is a very spectacular dance so nowadays it becomes more popular. My children danced it at the kindergarden graduate ceremony last June :) :) You may also find people dancing in the town squares from time to time. My favourite is Polonez Absolwentów polskich szkół Wilna AD 2023 (the dance starts 2:55), amazing choreography and film shots !

[@Cloud.1522]

During the partitions (1772-1918), polish speech and traditions (including polish dances) were banned by the partitioners. This process is known from history as germanization and russification of Poles. Polonez became much more popular at that time, because as a 'walked' dance pretended that it was not a dance but a march, it could be danced despite the prohibitions.

Stódniówka from sto dni (hundred days - to exam in high school). Polonaise (Polonez- also brand of polish cars from communist period) its renesaince time period type of music which in Poland is especially fond of because of our treasured pianist Fryderyk Chopin (Szopen in polish) who especially trive in composing this type of classical pieces.

[@edekkilinski6810]

[@kennethcarney5874]

Haha. Pure polish. I guess that’s why they call it using the French word polonaise

[@SylwesterKoszela]

Watch the film "Birth to the Saber" and you will learn some of our history and traditions.

Oryginał dance "Pan Tadeusz" kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3aXZYCMdpxsY6Msi=Td33H-IFiiDZCcXE

The key here is that a bit miraculously we, the Polish people and hugely descendants of peasants (of whom many were serfs) decided to resort to the culture of the upper class, the nobles (the knights) who were their masters still in the XIX c (!) and over few centuries peasants did not share nobles' ideas of the free Poland whom they associated with unjust noble privilages. This Poland collapsed under partition in 1795. Prior to that the Polish phenomenon that the nobels were enjoying superior privilages and created nobel democracy (republic) model and even elected the king was very unique in Europe. This class consituted relatively large percentage of the Polish nation (ca. 8-10%) and therefore had many interactions with the peasants who could see them and their culture on a daily basis. The key moment was in 1918-1920 when the Polish peasants joined the Army of the Ressurected Republic of Poland to defend the country against Bolsheviks. The Polish church was also involved in bridging the peasants to the nobles as they all met in the same churches during the liturgical service, holidays and ceremonies. Then mostly over the communist times the nation gradually embraced the legacy of the nobles, who lost their privilages and property and when many of them turned into the new class called inteligentsya. They became army officers, doctors, lawyers but also priests, teachers, actors, writers, film directors, etc. So the XX century and the fight for freedom and cultural resistance united the Polish nation surpressed by the Soviets and Germans and this is why we did not buy Marxist struggle of classes. The polonaise dance is now one of the elements of this heritage first embraced by the children of the former peasants joining the working class first in the industrialising cities, then part of them became inteligentsya and now the cultural heritage has been transeferd by inteligentsya to the middle class which has been under creation over the last 30-40 years. The merchant class in Poland before in lion share were Germans, Dutch, Jews, Armenians, etc, who did not compete with the nobles for the political rights so the nobles liked that scheme guarding their superior position.

"Studniówka" = 100 days to prom!

[@smiechuwarte-qt8pn]

The next reaction is to suggest a band called Czerwone Gitary because it is the Polish equivalent of the English band The Beatles. They played in the same years

[@Karudzik]

You should see a party afterwards

[@katarzynastasica6272]

Dear, you have to see "Krakowiak" or "Zbójnicki". :)))

[@martys8247]

You should react to the newest version (Bankietowy live) of Sanah's song ,,Cząstka". It is an amazing experience!

[@agataostaszewska8412]
