[deborahbarry]

Thx for making this video! I dance another mazurka and have never seen this one.

This bid is so clear, well lit, easy to see, and WONDERFULLY costumed!

Ah, and the dancing itself!!!! Grand!

I'm taking my first mazurka lesson this Saturday. You've set the bar high.

Tzar Aleksandr I fell in love with mazurka and had invited Polish dance teachers to teach Russian aristoctrats

[KevinBurkeGuitar]

I've heard of this in War And Peace and Anna Keranina and assumed it was a Russian dance?

[maxi36440529]

@KevinBurkeGuitar Nope, I think it's a polish traditional dance.

I've heard of this in 'War  And Peace' and 'Anna Keranina' and assumed it was a Russian dance?

[insomnis87]

wow i would never expect that a polish national dance is well known abroad :D

[trzcinarowice]

@insomnis87 But it should be called "mazur" (nominative case). "Mazurek" is diminutive form of that word. "Mazurka" is nominative case ot the word (yes, there are 7 cases in Polish language).

@insomnis87 Actually it was on trend everywhere in Europe in the middle of XIXth century. Posh people just loved it, in France, Italia and Britain. It was supposed to be "exotic".
