The classes are held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6.30 p.m. in the gym of the University of Lodz, ul. Tamka 12 (tram stop of lines 15 and 43).

The objective of the classes is to shape the aesthetics of movement, correct body posture, awaken musical sensitivity, acquire movement habits useful in dance and stage presentation, learn basic steps and dance figures with particular emphasis on Polish national and regional dances, get to know the dance and vocal repertoire of the ensemble. 

We encourage students from the last classes of high schools, students of the University of Lodz and other Lodz universities to take part in the classes. You will make new friends. You will spend your time in an interesting and creative way, and gain skills that you will appreciate during, for example, your wedding. Time spent together during rehearsals, or during the events (on St. Andrew's Eve, Christmas Eve, Shrove Tuesday, during Easter) will enable you to gain new acquaintances and friends (thanks to the ensemble 14 couples who finally got married met :)) 

Bring a comfortable outfit, sneakers, ballet shoes, a towel (the possibility of showering after class) to the classes.

The classes are held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8.00 p.m. in the gym of the University of Lodz, Łódź ul Tamka 12.

The objective of the classes is to improve dance and vocal skills, learn and improve dance routines, participate in performances in the country and abroad. The classes are attended by those qualified from the preparatory group or those who have had an internship in other teams and have relevant knowledge and dance skills.
