What dance form is known as the national folk dance of Poland?
Polonez (The Polonaise) - a slow dance, that has a rhytm close to that of the Swedish "semiquaver". Altough it may look like a Polish dance, "polka" is actually a Czech dance. The name comes from the Czech word půlka (a half) - because of the short half-steps in the dance. The name has nothing to do with a Polish woman ("Polka").
