The dance begins with the couple joining hands over the lady’s shoulder with the man’s arm behind her back. During the first two bars of music, the couple walks forward for four steps. For the next two bars (3 and 4), without letting go of your partner’s hands, turn on the spot (so left hand is behind the lady right hand is in front) and take 4 steps backwards.

​

Repeat this in the opposite direction for bars 5 – 8.

​

During bars, 9 – 12 let go of your partner’s left hand and the lady twirls on the spot.

 

Finally, for the last four bars hop into ballroom hold and polka your way around the dancefloor!
