Chabry - Polish Teen Folk Dancers

Chabry, the teen Polish folk dance group, was started in
2002. The group was founded as a place for teens, between the ages of 12-16, who are too old
to be in the childrens group and not quite old enough to be in the adult group. It allows
teens to continue or start practicing and performing Polish dance and it acts as a
stepping-stone into the adult group Dolina.
