Polish gorale dancers


From the Tatras, far south Poland...Polish Highlanders.

Ron made a highlander felt hat, years ago. The white felt pants are typical, and I've worn them to dance in at Folklore Village.

John wore them, along with a felt jacket, at his Carleton graduation.

Polish highlander dances are unique, lots of shouting, foot-stopping, and clashing & waving of small axes.
