The polska (not to be confused with the polka) is a folk dance and dance rhythm, common in Nordic folk music and folk dances. The word means ''Polish'' in SwedenSwedish, and is short for ''Polish dance''. Some people believe that the dance does has PolandPolish roots; it is possible that it originated when monarchking Sigismund I of SwedenSigismund Vasa (Sigismund III of Poland, Sigismund I of Sweden) travelled to Sweden for his coronation and was accompanied by Polish musicians. Others think the denotation Polish is a misconception. Originally, the polska was danced on the spot. Influences from the waltz changed the polska into a travelling dance, where the couples move in a circle around the walls of the room.There are three main types of polskas: the semiquaver or sixteenth-note polska (somewhat similar to the polonaise) the quaver or eighth-note polska (somewhat similar to the mazurka) the triplet polska. The oldest form of the polska is the eighth-note one, distinguished by a long second beat and a highly accented first and third beats. Style of polskas vary considerably in different Nordic regions. In Finland, the sixteenth-note polska is played almost exclusively. A NorwayNorwegian variety of polska, played with faster music, is called pols. A version of sixteenth-note polska related to the polonaise is ''slängpolska'', which includes turns under the arms similar to swing dancing or salsa. The largest local variety of polskas preserved in Swedish can be found in the regions Dalarna and Småland, where places like Malung, Orsa, SwedenOrsa, Bingsjö, Rättvik, and Boda all have distinctive their names to a special variety; ''bingsjöpolska'' is danced smoothly and evenly, where the heads should not dip up and down.See also: polka 2/4-beat dance of Czech origin polonaise - 3/4-beat slow dance of Polish origin polka-mazurka - 3/4-beat dance, musically similar to the mazurkaCategory:Nordic folk musicCategory:Nordic dancespl:Polska (taniec)sv:Polska (dans)
