Q. Why is it called Polka?
The polka is a folk dance. The name comes from the Czech word půlka—literally, little half—a reference to the short half-steps featured in the dance. It has then been influenced by the similarity to the Czech word polka, meaning Polish woman. This is why the Polka’s origin is sometimes mistakenly attributed to Poland.
