How do you polka dance?

Question

I know that this dance has a 1-2-3 count but I don't know what to do with my feet. Also, whenever I see the serious polka people, they have this carefree bounce. They all are bobbing up and down! How do I do that?

Answer 1

The basic Polka step is a continuous series of step-close-step “triple steps.” Some people liken the basic movement to “galloping.” Like the two step and Viennese waltz, the polka is a fast traveling dance that is generally danced around the perimeter of a large dance floor.

Answer 2

This is the footwork: step forward, close, step forward, hop

Then repeat that on the other foot

Then get to the point where you can do that while turning in a circle.

Answer 3

you just hav to put one foot out then let the other one follow. You do this while going in circles with your partner. To get the extra spring, you just got hop. Put some pizazz into it.

Answer 4

You put your right foot in,
You put your right foot out,
You put your right foot in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey Pokey
And you turn yourself around
And that's what it's all about!
