The finale marks the close of this year’s edition of the city’s “Kraków Tańczy 2026” project. From mid-April to mid-December 2026, Kraków residents could take part in dance classes free of charge.
The project is an initiative of the city councillors of Kraków and is aimed at local residents. Its goal is to promote dance as a form of physical, cultural and social activity, to encourage people to keep moving, and to create opportunities for social integration.
More than 1,000 Kraków residents took part in this year’s edition. Classes were held in six districts: Prądnik Biały, Bronowice, Zwierzyniec, Dębniki, Łagiewniki–Borek Fałęcki and Podgórze Duchackie. Participants were adults of all ages, from beginners to senior citizens. The classes were open to everyone, regardless of previous dance experience.
The programme included:
- partner and solo classes,
- social and ballroom dance, including the basic steps of the waltz, tango, quickstep, disco and selected Latin American dances,
- Caribbean dances: bachata, merengue and salsa (in solo format).
At the finale, participants from different districts of Kraków will perform, showcasing the choreographies and skills they developed over several months of learning. The event is also intended as a joint celebration of the project.
Admission to the finale is free and open to all who are interested. More information about the project is available at krakowtanczy.pl.
