The event took place at Peebles Burgh Hall on Saturday, February 21 and was organised by Koniczynka (Clover) Peebles, the local Polish community school.
It was organised alongside EDUS Association – an umbrella organisation bringing together Polish community schools across Scotland.
Organisers said they were pleased to see a mixed audience in the hall, with many local Scottish residents attending, alongside members of the Polish community.
Grzegorz Kościelak, from Koniczynka, said: “At our school, we teach children not only about the history and culture of Poland, but also about the many events that have linked Poles and Scots over the years.
“We are therefore extremely happy when we can present Polish culture to the Peebles community.”
Guests for the night were students from the Social Ballet School in Lublin, who included Peebles in a short Scotland visit.
The programme combined classical ballet with contemporary dance and a set of shorter character pieces.
Among the classical items were variations inspired by Esmeralda and La Fille mal gardée (The Poorly Guarded Girl), alongside a lively tarantella.
The audience also saw a run of dances drawing on different traditions and styles – polish traditional dances, tango and foxtrot – before the evening moved into more modern choreography.
One section that stood out for many was a sequence inspired by the work of Polish painter Olga Boznańska, presented as a journey through European places and stories.
The cultural link to Lublin continued beyond the dancing. A short film titled Magical City introduced the audience to Lublin’s history and atmosphere, and visitors were able to take home small promotional items connected with the city.
Refreshments and a welcome table were provided, with help from Polish Scouts from Edinburgh and the Friends of Polish Scouting Group, which supported the evening and helped create a relaxed, community feel.
The organisers thanked volunteers and supporters for helping bring an international dance programme to the town.
