How different cultures dance polka. 💃🏽 Polka dancing and music originated with Czechs in the 19th century. What started as a fun way for Czechs to assert pride in their culture under the backdrop of Germanic cultural supression quickly was adopted by Slovaks, Poles, other Slavic cultures, and by Germans and Austrians themsleves. Polka spread to the new world by Europens immigrants and was given new spice in Mexico, Brazil, and other countries. #polka #polkadance #nortenas #folklorico #czexan #
