    The 1970s

    In the 1970s, the postwar generation was growing up, and many
    of the youngsters who had met through Mazury in the 60s
    became married couples with children of their own. Mazury’s
    regular venues for annual shows were Hammersmith Town Hall
    and the Commonwealth Institute Theatre in Kensington. The
    group competed in the SE region heats of Come Dancing and
    made it through to the final - their first major TV appearance in
    the UK. Dożynki (Harvest celebrations) moved to the prestigious
    Hilton Hotel in Park Lane and Mazury’s participation in this
    highlight of the Polish social calendar became de rigeur. They
    continued to take part not only in Polish events but also in British
    celebrations, including the Queen’s Silver Jubilee in 1977.
    Włodek Lesiecki took over from Irena Różycka as Artistic
    Director in 1973 and continued to expand and extend the
    repertoire. He established the name Mazury Dance Company
    of the Polish YMCA by which the group is known today, and
    instigated a new junior group to cater for the growing number of
    youngsters who now wanted to follow in their parents’ footsteps!
