This is my "old" youtube page. I can't remember how to get back in there. Anyhow, ten years ago I first learned all these dance names and rhythms. I mis-spoke when I said that Pols meant pulse. It actually comes from Polish. This style of 3/4 dance came up into Norway and Sweden through the "polish dance polka." Still, when they get to Roros, Norway (which is one of the dances I was trying to do in the first video with my good friend Tamara Rogers), it does remind one of the human heart's pulse...a lub dub if you will. I am STILL learning how to do this dance that comes from North West of Trondheim where my cousins live. And I love singing this style of pols, Roros pols, with my friends, the Nordivas. :)
