The term Krakowiak refers to a group of dances from southern and central Malopolska (Little Poland, Cracow) which begin during the 16th-17th centuries. Over the years the Krakowiak became an awe-inspiring "exhibition" dance to be watched and praised. The dance is set in in duple time with the steps resembling the stylized actions of cherished horses. When performed on the stage, it includes a variety of group figures in turns, jumps, runs, and fast stamping steps.
