The Krakowiak is one of Poland’s national dances and is also the dance of Krakow, Poland’s ancient capital city. The dance evokes the movements of the horses of the Polish cavalry, which defended the kingdom against raiding barbarian tribes from the east. The dance became popular in Paris and Vienna in the 19th century, helping influence the later gallop dance craze of the late 19th century.
Carpathia performed a grueling line up of Macedonian, Polish, Gypsy, and Ukrainian Suites at the 2019 Windmills International Dance Festival.
7 Years and counting of sharing our love of these cultures on this stage. The crowd, the food, the music. We love it all.

Carpathia was chosen as one of 7 acts to share our dances with a sold out crowd at the Publick Playhouse in Maryland.
