Harnam Folk Dance Ensemble

Harnam meets in the Ludwik Geyer’s White Factory in Łódź.

The first artistic director was Jadwiga Hryniewiecka and then her students: Sławomir Mazurkiewicz (1979-1990) and Maria Kryńska (1990-2008).

In 1994 Maria Kryńska and Krzysztof Sitkowski founded a therapy studio for children and teenagers with Down syndrome and they worked until 2008.

In 2012 Harnam and Krzysztof Sitkowski were awarded Silver Medal for Merit to Culture – Gloria Artis.

It combines folk motifs, legends and basic steps with modern dance.
