I was just reading that Queen Victoria loved doing this dance. :)

@MoonMankkkkkk Mazurka in F major, Op. 68 No. 3 by Chopin. Or could it be that Chopin borrowed this melody and composed his mazurka in F?

This is certainly not a mazurka by Chopin; the superficiality of the piece too obviously betrays this.

Wow, they're dancing on Chopin's mazurka. Nice video.

Oh Ann963! You will be delighted with all the other dances in 3/4 besides the waltz!

I loved the silhouette of the man's legs against her skirt. It made it vary easy to follow what the movements are!

I love the pantaloons! So adorable. First time I've ever seen that in a dance performance.

@Ann963 check out the Polonaise. its a stately 3/4 time polish march.

Now I know of another dance besides Waltz (slow and Viennese) that uses triple time! :)
