Under the Artistic Direction of its founder and choreographer, Henryk Kurylewski, the company has given numerous performances at local venues, as well as, in capital cities around Australia participating in television appearances, eight Pol-Art Festivals, two Shell Folkloric Concerts and World Expo '88.
