Actually, this Polka style of dancing is called the 'Chicago Hop' which is more bouncy than a traditional polka . . . They're both a three step, but in the 'Chicago Hop' you use both feet as the first step, like a slight jump almost to begin and the lifting of the leg is exaggerated a bit. This polka is a real work out.

Love it but polka as a dance is actually from the Chech republic:)

[sylwiatime]

@Notturno81 That's right! I feel really uneasy when Polish Americans say that polka is a Polish dance. It must be the greatest cultural theft Poles have ever made. Just imagine how Poles would feel if Russians claimed that the polonaise or mazurka are theirs.

They dance very well though.

@Notturno81Exactly - this Polka was composed in XIX century in Austria :-)

My father had danced like this ...boots and all. My doll had the woman's costume, ribbons and all :) All four grandparents were born in Poland!

We're still practicing these steps. So far it's like two elephants in a chicken coop, but in time we'll get there. Going to a Polish Dygus Day Dance tonight. 4/5/10.

My wife and I are dancers. We're learning how to do these steps from this video. We''ve been dancing together since 1983. We do ballroom, swing, and polkas. We go to German and Polish festivals all the time. Great fun. Real dancing, not just jumping up and down.

It doesn't matter what are the origins of the Polka dance, or the Clarinet Polka. As an American child I heard it every Sunday on the radio, performed by some of the best Polka bands in the United States. It never left me, and to this day I love hearing and dancing to the Clarinet Polka. Jeszcze Polska nie zginiela! Frania 1,

"You don't hafta be POLISH to dee-ance the POLKA!"

[ThomasZsamoT]

Klarnet Polka n'appartient pas au monde musical folklorique polonais... Ce n'est ni plus ni moins qu'un morceau musical de "bal" à tendance polonaise... Côté danse, ça n'est ni une polka, ni un oberek, certainement un mélange des deux, une polerek? Quant au costume, il en fallait bien un pour faire "polonais"... Tak mysle...

[Mouserguy]

This is beautiful!!!

It is a very splendid video image.

A polka and the dance are very wonderful.

[biznagamx]

This is one of my favorites polkas, thanks for sharing!

[tunisianswife]

thank you for the nice video. It brings tears to my eyes, as my mother and her sisters (2 since deceased) used to love to dance the polka.

[HYPERSMOKI]

Trochę w amerykańskim stylu, ale fajne ;)

[oberek92]

tak, nie polskie: skok na obie nogi a potem krok polkowy a "klarinet polka" moze niemieckie jest.

Now this is real dancing. Too bad that high school kids can't learn how to dance with skill and grace.
