6.5 DANCINGS AT THE CULTURAL CENTER IN KAMIEŃ

            The tradition of dancing parties in Kamień is relatively young. "DANCES (ALMOST) ANDREWS" and "SHROVETIDE" started in 2016. The impulse to organize this type of event was the desire to attract young people to the dance team operating at the CK. The initiator of the dances from the very beginning was the instructor of the group Jadwiga Kula-Romanek and members of ZPiT, who are wholeheartedly involved in the preparation of the event. The host of all meetings and the main partner is, of course, the Cultural Center headed by its director Marcin Laufr.

            The dance parties played by bands playing traditional regional music are preceded by traditional dance workshops. Newcomers can learn about the basic steps of commonly danced dances and the rules of dance games, which are very popular at dance parties.

            Dances are held regularly during the carnival - "DANCING FOR SHROVETIDE", and before Advent, during the "St. Andrew's Day" - hence the "DANCES (ALMOST) ANDREWS". The whole event takes place in the Cultural Center in Kamień - now it is an old wooden building, giving the dances an unusual atmosphere.
