Hamtramck, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - From festivals to game nights, you can catch the Gwiazda dancers throughout Hamtramck representing their Polish culture. This style of Polish dancing was something that was always near and dear to Jessica Wendt. Wendt is the director for the Polish Roman Catholic Union of America (PRCUA) Gwiazda Dancers. She joins Community Connect to discuss the dance team and how you can experience Polish culture.

"I've always wanted to be a Polish dancer!" explains Wendt. She was first exposed to the world of dance when she attended Polish school as a child and it just grew from then.
