About us

Tatry is a beautiful mountain range in Poland...

...it is also the name of a most exciting Polish folk dance group, a thriving company of over 40 members of all ages ranging from about 12 to over 60.

The spirit of Tatry has always remained the same – to enjoy and celebrate Polish folk song and dance! Great importance is attached to maintaining the authenticity of the intricate steps of traditional Polish dances and to the detail of the folk costumes.

With a repertoire of both national and regional songs and dances Tatry have appeared on television, including the BBC, and danced at many venues throughout the United Kingdom, such as the famous Royal Albert Hall, the Wembley Conference Centre and at numerous festivals. Our performances at the regular UK Polish folk festivals have been widely acclaimed.

Tatry welcomes not only Polish people, but also groups of dancers of other nationalities. The one thing we all have in common is a genuine love for Polish folk song and dance.

All major decisions in the the group are made democratically with every member having a vote, but day-to-day organisation is through the elected committee. Choreography and performances are in the hands of the Artistic Director.
