Children to Perform Polish Folk Dance at World Day

Day-on-the-Glen Event in Dublin, California

Students of the John Paul II School of Polish Language, based in Walnut Creek, California will be performing at the City of Dublin’s “A World of Fun: Day-on-the-Glen” on Sunday, September 21^st at 11:00am. The World of Fun event celebrates worldwide cultures and features fun for the entire family including carnival attractions, a petting zoo, face painting, wild animal shows and entertainment. The festival will be held both Saturday and Sunday, September 20^th and 21^st, respectively. It will be open from 10am to 5pm.

The children from the Polish School will be performing two variations of the famous “Krakowiak” dance in authentic period costumes. These historical folk dances originated in Cracovia – a Southern region of Poland admired for its great beauty and romantic history. Admission is free and everyone is welcome.

The John Paul II School of Polish Language is a non-profit organization and has been chartered with the education and continuation of Polish language and culture since 1967. Enriching the lives of the children and adults within the Polish-American community with Polish history and heritage provides them with a closer identity to their roots and family traditions. These experiences also create links and bonds with others within the Polish-American community which can lead to travel, higher education and career opportunities.
