KUJAWIAK is a Polish dance from the Kujawy region of Mazovian plains in central Poland. It is usually danced with dignity and simplicity, in a smooth flowing manner “reminiscent of the tall grain stalks in the fields swaying gently in the wind.”

In 1964 several Alliance College students, under the leadership of a talented and enthusiastic young woman named Gardenia Wojtuszewska, became interested in forming a Polish folk dance group. Out of this has developed a troupe with an outstanding reputation among Polish folk dance groups in the United States. The man deserving much of the credit for this fine reputation is the first director of the ensemble, Jan Sejda. He was chosen in the same year of 1965 to mold the campus enthusiasts of folk culture as well as a new crop of freshmen into a group that could eventually present a unique concert of Polish folklore and act as the emissary of Alliance College to the public.
