Kujawiak

A modern couple performing the Kujawiak in a competition setting.

The kujawiak is a Polish folk dance from the region of Kujawy in central Poland.[1] It is one of the five national dances of Poland, the others being the krakowiak, mazur, oberek, and polonaise.

The music is in triple meter,[1] and is characterized by its rubato tempo and calm, lyrical nature. The dance typically involves couples walking gracefully in a quarter-note rhythm, on slightly bended knees, with relaxed turns, around a circle.
