  13. When do we dancepolonaise?

  14. In our country we dance polonaise when students are about to finish the high school. Studniówka is a traditional ball for final grade of high school (Polish „liceum” or „technikum”) students (i.e. aged 18–20) in Poland, analogous to senior prom in the United States. It is held approximately a hundred days before the „matura”, Polishleaving exam.That’sthereason of itbeingcalled „studniówka”, which is a Polish noun formed from the adjective „studniowy”, meaning "hundred-day" (compare stodni, „one hundred days").

  15. The attire is formal. This means suits with neckties (not tuxedos) for boys, and evening gowns for girls. Additionally, girls may don red lingerie underneath, which is believed to bring good luck at the exams; boys may also wear red underpants, but this is less common. The first dance is almost invariably a polonaise, which students usually have to practice before the prom, followed by more modern dances. Apart from the red underwear, the prom may be associated with many other superstitious practices, such as jumping on one leg around a monument – all of which are supposed to help students pass their matura.
