The prom is organized 100 days before graduation from high school. It is a beautiful Polish tradition that begins with a beautiful court dance called " polonez" (polonaise). The prom is a symbol of young people entering adulthood. After 100 days, there is the final high school exam called the matriculation exam (PL matura). Then, young people with a high school diploma in their hands begin adult life, most often deciding to continue university studies. The prom (PL studnowka) beginning with the polonaise ( PL polonez) is a unique tradition existing in 🇵🇱 Poland only.
This is one of the Polish slow dances. It was danced by the nobility at royal courts as a "parlance of the nobility" before the monarch. It was also danced at noble courts for centuries. During the partitions, when Poland lost its independence, it was used somewhat in secret as a symbol of Polishness. Poland is a wonderful country with centuries of tradition and culture ;-) Currently, since the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, the Polonaise is danced at the opening of proms.
I danced the Polonaise for the first time when I was 6 years old in kindergarten. Pononez (Polonaise) is on the UNESCO list as Intangible Cultural Heritage. Notice that after all these partner changes, at the end of each figure danced, everyone dances with their original partner again. You have to try it sometime. It's easy, you can do it. Take your place in the fourth or fifth pair and repeat everything after the others.
It's very special moment for students and everybody remember their Polonaise becouse it's ussualy once in a lifetame. Polish Studniówka comes from words "Sto dni" which means "100 days" before final exams "Matura" also called "The Exam of Maturity"
Yes, this is one of many Polish traditional dances. It is called: Polonaise in E minor "Farewell to the Homeland" by the famous Polish composer Michał Kleofas Ogiński. It was composed around 1794. Therefore, a farewell to the homeland, because Poland in those years was in 123 years of captivity (it had not been on the world map since 1795), hence the title expressing longing for the homeland. And the author had to leave Poland, because he took part in the uprising against the enemies, who unfortunately took Poland into captivity. The tradition in Polish schools is that they dance this polonaise a hundred days before the final exams at high school. The dance is very complex and has the same elements for decades and students learn the arrangements of these elements and the arrangement you saw is created. Students volunteer to learn this dance in the last year of high school. And outside of lessons, under the watchful eye of an instructor, they learn the Polonaise, which they will dance at the college. Studniówka is a word consisting of two words that can be translated as "one hundred days". Ogoński's Polonaise was often used in the 20th century as an opening dance for balls, which is why it is still a tradition in Polish schools to have this dance start the ball.
Ja tańczyłam Poloneza. Ogińskiego. To był rok 1994. Ale potem Pan Kilar skomponował równie piękny i majestatyczny Polonez do ekranizacji "Pana Tadeusza" . Oba piękne . Pozdrawiam 👍👍💕
Pan Tadeusz - a Polish costume drama from 1999, directed by Andrzej Wajda, the second full-length film based on Adam Mickiewicz's poem Pan Tadeusz (after Ryszard Ordyński's version from 1928). The axis of the film is the conflict between the Soplic and Horeszko families, leading to the intervention of Tsarist Russian troops before the invasion of Russia by Napoleon's troops. The main roles were played by Michał Żebrowski, Bogusław Linda, Daniel Olbrychski, Grażyna Szapołowska, Andrzej Seweryn and Marek Kondrat.
It has been a tradition for generations that the prom ball (stódniówka) begins with a Polonaise. The polonaise, also known as the walking dance, is our national court dance. You invite your crushes to the prom ball, but here they dance a complicated dance routine. They dance here with their classmates because dance rehearsals were needed. Invited guests are waiting on the sides. The dance was opened by the school principal.
This a type of nobility walking ("chodzony") dance; "taniec dworski". From Wikipeddia: "The prototype of the polonaise was a walking dance of folk origin, first danced among the people, known in its prototype - the hop dance, "walked" from the second half of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century, and over time it became popular in magnate courts. At the courts of Polish kings, the polonaise was an element of court ceremonial, serving as a parade of the nobility before the monarch. It was danced at the beginning of balls, and now it inaugurates some events to emphasize their solemn character."
"studniówka" its day when students have 100 days to finish hight school unfortunatelly girls must have someone to dance with, I didnt have so I couldnt come :/
Dzięki za polecenie! Faktycznie o wiele trudniejszy i ładniejszy układ. Ten w porównaniu z Opocznem był jak taniec przedszkolaków, poza tym dziewczyny wyglądały, jakby z bazaru dopiero wyszły. Każda sukienka z innej parafii. Masakra. Dziewczyny w Opocznie wyglądały znacznie bardziej profesjonalnie i schludnie.
@@katarzynaxx563 Witam, polecam jeszcze I LO Bolesława Chrobrego w Piotrkowie Trybunalskim - tam również sala robi wrażenie - albo I LO Tadeusza Kościuszko w Busko-Zdroju - stroje. Pozdrawiam serdecznie wielbicielkę naszych wspaniałych tradycji i historii. 😊
@@GdzieJestNemo to, że przed ekranizacją”Pana Tadeusza”, polonez „Pożegnanie Ojczyzny” Ogińskiego był podkładem do tego tańca. Teraz polonez Kilara jest popularniejszy wśród studentów.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8dIla8Skd_Q.html dziwna ruska moda trzymania rąk przez mężczyzn podczas tańca , zerżnięta z ich oper np. Eugeniusz Oniegin
Warto przypomnieć , że pierwotna nazwa tego tańca to "chodzony". Gdy zaczął być tańczony na balach w saonach europejskich, zyskał on nazwę "Polonaise" czyli "polski " i obecnie nazywamy ten taniec z francuska, Polonez. Polonez ma mnóstwo figur.
jeśli chcesz, to przyjedź w maju do Polski i zatańczymy Polonez, nie ma problemu zorganizujemy. Tylko ubierz suknię balową ;) będzie dla mnie zaszczytem z Tobą zatańczyć Polonez :)
