Redowa
A redowa () is a dance of Czech origin with turning, leaping waltz steps that was popular in European ballrooms. History The name comes from the Czech name rejdovák, derived from ''rej'' ("whirl"). Originally a folk dance, it first appeared into the salons in Prague in 1829 and fell out of fashion by 1840, though in the meantime it had spread beyond Bohemia. Thomas Hillgrove states that the redowa was introduced to London ballrooms in 1846. Like other popular ballroom dances of the mid-nineteenth century, including the polka, it was danced in Paris prior to its appearance in London. Meter Like most dances currently described as waltzes, the redowa is danced in time, with the couple performing a full rotation every six beats. Description A basic redowa step contains one long reaching step and two small leap-steps. The long reaching step can be danced on either the 1 or the 2 of each bar of music, depending on what feels best with the tune that is playing. Cellarius (1849) des ...

Varsovienne
The Varsoviana is both a couple dance and a melody. Whilst originally conceived as a mazurka (with it’s characteristic time and accent on the 2nd or 3rd bar) it is now regularly mislabeled as a waltz (even being known as The Waltz of Vienna). The Varsoviana is known by a variety of variations of its name (such as the Varsouvienne, Varsovienne or La Va), but it also has names which reference the distinctive ‘pause’ motif in the dance (such as Shoe the Donkey, Put your Little Foot, Cock your Leg Up) as well as titles that refer to songs which have come to be associated with the tune (e.g. Jan Pierewiet, Mascando Chicote, Turkey Rhubarb). The dance and melody is known across Europe, North America, South America and Australasia. It is one of the most well known and long lived of all the 19th century 'round' couple dances, it was one of the earliest ever "sequence" dances. It's longevity is possibly due to its distinctive choreography, in particular the novelty (for that tim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rogatywka
''Rogatywka'' (; sometimes translated as '' peaked cap'') is the Polish generic name for a peaked, four-pointed cap used by various Polish military formations throughout the ages. It is a distant relative of its 18th-century predecessor, the ''konfederatka'' (so-named because of use by members of the Bar Confederation), although similar caps have been used by light cavalry since the 14th century. It consists of a four-pointed top and a short peak, usually made of black or brown leather. Although rogatywka (derived from ''róg'' which means "horn" or "corner") in English seems to mean the same as czapka, the word ''czapka'' in Polish designates not only rogatywka, but all caps (not hats). Konfederatka The konfederatka was based on the hats of the 18th-century Lithuanian Tatar National costumes, as the Grand Ducal Lithuanian Army's Vanguard regiments were heavily influenced by the Lithuanian Tatar dress, among other elements. Usage The rogatywka usually comes in two vari ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dudy
Variants of the bock, a type of bagpipe, were played in Central Europe in what are the modern states of Austria, Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic. The tradition of playing the instrument endured into the 20th century, primarily in the Blata, Chodsko, and Egerland regions of Bohemia, and among the Sorbs of Saxony. The name "Bock" (German for ''buck'', i.e. male goat) refers to the use of goatskins in constructing the bag, similar to the common use of other goat-terms for bagpipes in other nations, such as the French cabrette, Spanish gaita and Polish koza. History The oldest written mentions of bagpipes in the Lands of the Bohemian Crown comes from Zbraslav Chronicle (lat. Chronicon Aulae regiae, 1335 - 1339). The earliest description of the mouth-blown Bock is illustrated on plate XI and described by Michael Praetorius in his treatise, ''Syntagma Musicum 2, De Organographia'' (Wolfenbüttel, 1619), plates issued separately as ''Theatrum Instrumentorum'' (1620).
