Bohemian National Polka dance at the Gaskell's Victorian dance in Oakland, California August 2006.

Ye Gaskell Occasional Dance Society sponsors Victorian ballroom dances several times a year. There are afternoon dance lessons and refresher lessons before the dance. Formal dress.

Brassworks is a live brass band led by Frank Beau Davis. They sound much better in person than in this clip.

Scottish Rite Center in Oakland has a beautiful ballroom for this event.

  • Not a Bohemian National Polka, but the polka "Feuerfest" by Johann Strauss junior (opus 269)

  • Someone over here has choreographed a dance that they call the dance "Bohemian National Polka".

  • it's very nice - is this califonia ? was it a live band ? it needed some cossacks ! is that where the hell's angels got started ?

  • Yes, California. Yes, live band, Brassworks.

  • Dziekuje Mariusz! Milo tu tanczyc!

    Jak u Ciebie idzie?

  • Dziękuje Luba :) Aż miło popatrzyć :)

  • Super!

  • Also, there is always a 3 hor lesson before

    each Gaskell's Ball.

  • Sorry, I just saw your post. Yes, you can learn, I did. At Oakland Veteran Building

    on Grand Ae. by the Lake Merritt, they have all kinds of lessons there.

  • Dziękuję CI, Lubo, za ten piękny komplet filmów. Ależ pięknie...Wiesz, szukam Cię pośród par, ale robię to "w ciemno"...Cudnie!!!

  • This reminds me of the polkas my father danced in Mexico... of course, instead of brass instruments they used accordions and Bajo Sextos.

  • I'm most likely older then most of these people and I was born in Oakland and raised in Alameda (The Victorian island of the west coast) and I have never learned to dance like this. Is there a secret club? I've always considered myself a Bohemian of the bay.
