Patterns, Step Charts & Additional Information<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cAlthough the polka is a bouncy dance, the basic principles of stroking and effortless flow must be adhered to; the dance must not look labored, sloppy or somber. The partners must remain close together to minimize the shipping action generated by the short precise steps and rapid turning movements. Excellent unison and precise timing are required. Unprescribed separations must be avoided.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
