Stern Polka 1RR · P48
Couples round the room. Ballroom hold, men with back to centre.
Three 16 bar parts
- A
- Polka round the room, opening out to face the line of dance.
- B
- Man takes partner round the waist, his right hand in her right hand, resting on her right hip, woman’s left hand on man’s right shoulder; he places his left hand on left shoulder of man in front: march round circle
- C
- Let go of partner. Man faces inwards. Man stands and claps using both hands in rhythm as in note below: own thighs once, own hands twice, then hand of both neighbours at head-height (own right to right hand neighbour’s left, left to left hand neighbour’s right), then own hands above own head once. Repeat to end of C music. Meanwhile, women dance round outside of circle.
Notes
When A music begins again, men turn to face out ready to polka with a new partner.
At the end of the last time through, bands usually play 16 bars of A music so as to finish with a polka.
Clapping (in 2/4 rhythm) goes 1–2 -and 1–2 ; 1–2 and 1–2, etc.
