The 'Cracovia Danza' Court Dance Festival is the biggest show of court dance in all Europe.(Bill Tuck 2007)
Held annually, the Festival was first launched in 2000 to mark the granting of the title of "The European Capital of Culture" to Krakow.
It was initiated in the era of rekindled interest in the history of dance, the need to return to the sources of the common European heritage and the willingness to come together and exchange experiences among a wide group of historical dance ensembles active in Poland and abroad.
