The Polka is a dance which involves a man and a woman performing a series of triple steps to happy, lively tunes which are usually played on the accordion.
Apparently the dance has been around a long time. Some say the Polka originated in Bohemia during the 1800s. Others insist the dance was invented by a girl named Anna Slezak, in the year 1834. It was around that time, the dance gained popularity in ballrooms around the world.
Here in the States, during Oktoberfest, dancers often perform the Polka in groups wearing wonderful costumes. From what I hear, it is GREAT exercise, too!
