WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Once banned by rulers dispatched from Moscow, Poland’s
stately polonaise dance that nurtured the country’s spirit even through the dark
years of its partition is now honored by UNESCO.

This 18th century dance has been performed from aristocratic balls to village
celebrations, inspiring composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach and Frederic
Chopin. It still figures prominently in big national occasions, pre-graduation
balls and weddings.

On Dec. 5, this living tradition was ensconced into the UNESCO List of
Intangible Cultural Heritage as a “form of joint celebration,” which
“commemorates important moments in family and community life and symbolizes
cooperation, reconciliation and equality.”

Poland’s Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, which petitioned for the
dance’s inclusion into UNESCO’s list, said its initiative was met with huge
public support.



“Thousands of people on Facebook and on other social media were supporting the
(UNESCO) entry,” Joanna Cicha-Kuczynska of the ministry’s Department of
Monuments Protection, told The Associated Press.

She said there is a huge community, including entire families, that dance the
polonaise and pass the tradition on. Performed in pairs, it is led by the first
and most prominent pair which improvises various figures, such as raising joined
hands to form bridges under which other dancers can pass.

“The most important in the polonaise is that the whole group can jointly dance
the choreography, and among the personal features the most important are the
dignity of the men and the ethereal nature of the women,” said Marcin Pracki, a
dancer of the Warsaw University’s Dance Theater “Warszawianka.”



Another “Warszawianka” dancer, Monika Fiugajska, said the dance’s simplicity is
its strength.

“It is a very simple dance, the simplest among our national dances but at the
same time it has an exceptional soul and one can express emotions in it in an
exceptional way,” Fiugajska said.



This slow-paced procession dance evolved from a folk form called the “walking
dance.” By the 18th century, under the French name of “Polonaise” - or Polish -
it was widely danced among European nobility and opened royal balls.

In his 1773 book “The Present State of Music in Germany, the Netherlands and
United Provinces,” British musician Charles Burney described the polonaise as
being very popular across Saxony and especially at the court in Dresden where
Poland’s elected king Augustus II The Strong had introduced it decades earlier.

Having inspired some of the greatest classical composers including Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart and Pyotr Tchaikovsky, the polonaise remains timeless, still
opening the Vienna Opera Ball in carnival season.

“Undoubtedly, the polonaise merits being on the UNESCO list of world heritage
because it is a dance with not only Polish but an international tradition, it is
a generally recognized ballroom dance,” said Szymon Paczkowski, a musicology
professor at the University of Warsaw.

Paczkowski said you don’t need to be a good dancer to participate — a slightly
bent one knee at the right beat suffices.



During Poland’s more than a century of partition by neighboring Russia, Prussia
and Austria, the polonaise expressed longing for the lost homeland, especially
among the exiles and emigrees such as Chopin, who had emigrated to Paris. It was
banned on territories that Russia took over.

The polonaise has become the opening dance at high school pre-graduation balls.
Poland’s post-World War II communist authorities banned it from schools —
because of its aristocratic and patriotic connotations — but students revived
the tradition by the late 1960s.

Gabrysia Kosmal, 19, was among the students at Warsaw’s Mikolaj Rej high school
who performed the polonaise this month.

“It is an exceptional moment, because you know, there happen to be conflicts
among classmates, not everyone gets along with everyone, but we immerse in the
music, dance together, it is a magical moment,” Kosmal said.

The polonaise is also a staple during national anniversaries, including the Nov.
11 Independence Day celebrations, when people are invited to dance in the
streets with officials.




Natalia Bernat, an 18-year-old student who took part in a massive street dance
in the central city of Lodz last month, said the polonaise brings people
together at a time when the community needs it most and she believes “it’s worth
it to cultivate this tradition.”

The leader of the Lodz street dance, Janusz Wielgosz, who donned a historic
outfit for the occasion, said the polonaise is about beauty.

“It is a dance that is really very simple, with beautiful music and beautiful
costumes. It is worth a try.”
