Orlęta Dance Ensemble

Orlęta is a Polish Folkloric Dance Group designed for young people aged 3 – 15 years. The name Orlęta translates to mean “young eagles”, the white eagle is the traditional symbol of Poland. The aim of the group is to introduce youth to the beautiful music, traditions and folklore of Poland. Orlęta promotes, among young Polish New Zealanders, a sense of identity as well as a chance to share their joy of dance and song with the Greater Wellington community. Orlęta’s curriculum is based on both traditional and contemporary themes.
