History

Polka is a dance and a genre of dance music in 2/4 that began in nineteenth-century Bohemia, now part of the Czech Republic. The name is usually traced to the Czech word půlka, "half", for the quick half-step the dance demands. The origin story, first printed in 1844, credits a young woman named Anna Slezáková, whose unusual dance to a local folk song caught the eye of music teacher Josef Neruda in 1830. From Prague ballrooms it reached Vienna by 1839 and Paris in 1840, where the craze was dubbed "polkamania", and London in 1844. Johann Strauss I and his son wrote polkas, as did Smetana and Dvořák. It reached Russia in 1845 and settled into local folk dance there and in Belarus. In the United States it split into styles: Chicago's Polish-style polka, Cleveland's fast Slovenian style built on accordions, and the oom-pah Dutchmen style with tuba and banjo. It is Wisconsin's official state dance. The Grammy Awards gave a polka prize from 1985, first to Frankie Yankovic, "America's Polka King"; Jimmy Sturr and His Orchestra won 18 of the 24, and the category was dropped in 2009.
