Polish Centennial Dancers preserving history through dance
The twirling skirts and festive ribbons adorning the
costumes of the Polish Centennial Dancers as they take
to the stage during the Fall Festival are symbols of a
treasured ethnic heritage being passed from generation
to generation through dance.
Marie Boyle, director of the group, noted that the 44-
year long history of the Polish dancers at the Fall Festival
has been helpful in allowing the group to continue to pre-
serve their heritage.
The PNA Centennial Dancers are a children's Polish
folk-dance ensemble serving the Polish-American com-
munities in Wayne, Oakland and Livingston counties.
Formed in 1980 by the Polish National Alliance (PNA)
The Polish Centennial Dancers will appear on the Kellogg
See Dancers, page 18 Park Stage at 4:30, Saturday, Sept. 7.
