history
In 1947 the Harnam folk dance group was formed in the Szymon Harnam textile factory No. 8 in Łódź. Jadwiga Hryniewiecka was the artistic director until 1978. After that, her students Sławomir Mazurkiewicz (1979–1990) and Maria Kryńska (1990–2008) were the artistic directors.

In 2011, Joanna Formańska became the group's manager. In 2012 the dancer and educator Krzysztof Sitkowski became the artistic director of the group.
