Welcome!
We’re a social dance studio in Kraków, Poland. This means we dance the styles that can be found around town. We’re all about comfort and fun!
Our philosophy is that every dance style brings something special to the floor. The more styles we know, the more we have the freedom to express ourselves and connect with other dancers. The fancy term for this is “Fusion,” but at its heart, our philosophy can be summed up as, “Just dance!”
The studio is a space for creative dancing and performance endeavors. Do you need a place to practice or train? Do you need a floor to conduct your own professional classes? Or maybe you have an idea and need to work with the studio to make it a reality? See our Prices for details.

Hi there,
Greg Austin here. I want to take this opportunity to look back on the year 2020. It’s been quite the journey.
The first full year of KDW’s existence was quite the unusual one, to put it mildly…
We have been following the COVID-19 coronavirus situation very closely for several weeks now. After a lot of deliberation, we at the studio have decided to close classes and events starting next Monday, March 16th.
Born and raised in Texas, I’m happy to share a slice of my heritage with the people of Kraków. In Texas, we love getting together to dance to country music, and that includes world famous line dances. These fun, easy to learn dances are perfect for breaking the ice and getting the party going. We’ll provide the lesson, the music, and the energy… you just provide the party.
Well, the first semester of Kraków Dance Works is in the books. It’s been a great one, full of ups and downs, new things and realizations… but mostly just a lot of fun!
When people ask me how the studio is going, the best reply I can give them takes the shape of a metaphor…
Greg Austin here. One of the delightful gems that I have discovered since moving to Europe is the dance known as Balfolk. I find that most people have never heard of it, so I’m shining a little light on this vibrant and growing dance community. I spoke with Agnieszka Dworzańska, Kraków’s resident expert on Balfolk. Let’s listen in…
Being a Texan in Europe, I have observed some things. In Texas, you see, we have wide open spaces, and you get used to thinking big. If you can dream it, you can make it happen. I grew up with this sense of opportunity surrounding me, and I think I carried some of this over with me when I crossed the ocean.
Now that I’ve hung my hat in Europe for a bit, I think I’ve got an idea on how Europeans see opportunities…
