A description of what you would see if you were to watch people dance this glorious dance would be; colorful flowing ball gowns smooth steps elegant music with strong melodies. Waltz is danced with a ¾ melody along with a strong first beat. When you dance the waltz you are moving and gliding in a lively way with a conspicuous manner.
Polka is a couple dance that is defined as a vivacious dance. Polka is of bohemian origin. A kind of funny thing about polka is it was made by a little girl one day in 1834. The little girl had just done for her own entertainment. It must be great entertainment because it is still around today. Polka is said to be around for a long long time.
