Zespół pieśni i tańca Śląsk 2

Coming back to the topic. I told here the story to encourage you to find something out about polish culture. I'm sure that many other people think that folklore is not an interesting thing. That it's out of date and fit museum only. I'd like to draw your attention to how mistaken these opinions are. I think that folklore has a lot of things which are worth to discover. Music, dance and clothes, in my opinion are great and told us a lot about polish history, how people used to wear, how they used to spend their free time. It reminds polish people where do they come from and how do their ancestors looked like. It reminds of tradition.

The group Śląsk in my opinion is amazing and really worth seeing. The dance technique is on the highest level (no wonder, most dancers have graduated from ballet schools). The performance is wonderful. Costumes are prepared in every small detail, this is the art on the highest level. I have a great respect for Śląsk. So, I think, this is very sad that the tickets on their performance are gave out for free. With all this great preparation and great message, the message of polish culture and tradition the group definitely deserves for something more.

Thanks for reading !

Zespół pieśni i tańca Śląsk

I have no idea how to translate it into english. It will be probably something like "Song and dance group Śląsk", but I don't really know.  I don't want to zoom in the history of the group, I just want to share here my feelings about it. Last year, on june, my aunt received three tickets on a performance of Śląsk. She got it for free, and you know how you feel about things which you get for free, they should be kind of "not interesting" since nobody bought the tickets.

I have to be honest. I always like folk culture, music, clothes, I think this is very beautiful. But when I was thinking about dance group of folk, I was always perceived theme as amators who can follow only super easy steps, not really complex choreography and with not really good technique. Generally, they are mainly prepared to give a concert for country parties where people (I think) don't care so much about the quality of the performance. It should be nice, cheerful and colourful, and that satisfy theme enough. People in the city look for more 'entertaining' performance, mostly young people.

So having mixed feeling, I went on the concert, took my seat and was waiting for a group who's gonna be not really well-prepared, not really professional, just nice to look at, let's say. And after one hour I found out how wrong I had been ! The performance was amazing, I have to say, everything in it. Dancers, costumes, music, everything. I felled in love, totally. I came back home, and at once, I signed up for the workshops which are organised by Śląsk. By the way, ther're lovely as well. (Next part in the next post)

Styledigger

Hi!
Today I want to write a post about one of my favourite blog. It is Styledigger who's owner is Joanna Glogaza. At the beggining the blog took up the subject connected mainly with fashion. The blogger made outfits which she presented online and shortly describe theme. This kind of blogging is  nowadays very popular in Poland and in the world. When girls or boys promoted their sites very well they can profit from a big fame and even from the great amount of money. Coming back to Styledigger, the owner after two years of blogging decided to change a little bit the subject and started writing about other things which made the blog more kind of lifestyle.

Blog contains posts about travel, where the author tells readers about trips she took, she describes places, shows photos taken by herself and just encourage to go there(:

We can read there a lot of about new lifestyles which are called "slow life" and "slow fashion". The author is a big fan of these and she places a lot of  posts related to these topics. She focuses mainly on slow fashion, she talks about problem of massive production, bad quality of clothes and bad qualities of work people who works in a factory. She also gives a lot of life's advices, how to live happier, how to live calmer how to slow down and feel more relaxed in life.

The last thing I want to mention about is a selection of the most interesting things on internet called Hatifnaty which she uploades once a week or two weeks. I think this is great because me myself, I don't really like spending much time surfing on internet and looking for sth interesting. This is very tiring and I'm not patient for this. But on the other hand I always feel like I'm losing a lot because of it, and that on Internet I can find many surprising things and it's a pity to loose this occasion. So I always check this selection and feel satisfied and calm.

I really recommend this blog ! (;
