'Kujawy' Sydney was founded 1976. Many of the youth that belong to the ensemble today are of 3rd generation. Not many speak Polish fluently, but they all have that little spark that has been placed there by their parents. Currently there are 55 members in the ensemble ranging from 4 years of age onwards.

The ensemble has developed a highly varied and acclaimed repertoire, thanks to the artistic direction of teachers and choreographers Marek and Wieslawa Wojnicz (former members and soloists of the Polish State Dance Ensemble ‘Slask’). They also graduated from the State Ballet School. When the dance ensemble performs the very beautiful Suita Slaska the viewer taken back to the Slask (Silesian) area of Poland. The costumes are very rich and there are three main costumes that the ensemble performs in Cieszynski, Gorniczy and Rozbarski. Apart from costumes from the Slask area we also perform Kujawiak, Lowicki-Oberek Krakowski, My Slowiani, Mama Ostrzegala, Polonez Mazur, Zywiec Mieszczanski just to name a few. There are many more in our repertoire.

Kujawy has attended all Polart Festivals since inception. The group has performed in Spain, New Zealand, twice at the Rzeszów Festival in Poland and in many Polish and multi-cultural functions and festivals.

Kujawy have dedicated dancers, parents and committee led by Jolanta Zurawski as president and Zosia Cyganiuk as vice-president.
