Some pivot better than others, granted, but watch the second couple in which the follow wears a white dress--they look spot-on to me. Also, the pivots that follow directly after the cast-off are much harder because you've separated from your partner, and you have so little time to get into the tight embrace that makes pivoting easier. The pivots after the polka turns are much easier because of this.

The best example of the Bohemian National Polka on Youtube is performed by the Stanford Vintage Dance Ensemble.

All of them need to learn to bend their knees while pivoting.
And the pivots that directly follow the cast off are my favorites, because you can build up momentum heading in to them.

The song is Josef Strauss' Feuerfest Polka, Op. 269. This version is from the CD Ein Straussfest by the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra.

it'd be nice to see a schottische bounce in the pivots. it also helps getting around.
