Supposedly a German boat washed ashore on Mexicp and the crew played polka music to the locals. From there the accordion was influence in Mexican folk music.
Oh I just love this!! Why do people not do this anymore! I have the best memories as a little girl twirling and dancing to polka music at festival on corner nights in Chicago in the early 70's!
Before i die( im 61) i have to dance the polka! Reminds me of the Swiss Ital club at Yoris Grove in Ceres Ca growing up and Lawrence Welk too. This dance is fancier than i realized
I really love to see more videos just like this,i use to watch big joe polka show all the time and Mollie B polka show all the time but i really don't have cable or satellite at all now so i can't watch it at all now
Very fun video to watch and great advertising for Frankenmuth. I love that town--especially Oktoberfest and Christmas. Great advertising for a fantastic Michigan city and a wonderful nod to German/European traditions and heritage. We love it there. Thank you for the video. :-)
+zenubi There is a hell of a German influence on Mariachi and much other Mexican music -- Mexico recruited a lot of German immigrants, and so did Texas. That's why Linda Ronstadt has Spanish for a first language and Shiner Bock is from Texas.
It's 1am and I'm laying in bed watching a polka dancing competition video from 1989. What the fuck am I doing with my life? This is it. Rock fucking bottom..
I'm not sure I quite understand this dance, the fundamentals are evident, but all dance has an irgin and statement, I suppose I need to go to the Histiry to capture the energy statement. Polish as I recall. My Uncle woukd have been able to enlighten me. 💖
I don,t care how silly it is, I wish there were more places to go dancing, there is just nothing any more, Whatever happened to the Saturday Night Dances,??? People just sit in front of the boob tube eat themselves to sleep and become boring lifeless vegetables.
I'm so disappointed with their dancing. If this is a contest of polka music, they should have appropriate costumes certainly NOT mini skirts so short you can see their underpants when they twirl. Great for guys but I'm a girl and it embarrases me. I want them to look like Polish dancers, not Donny and a cheerleader. But I LOVE the music. It's so lively and happy.
Nobody said who won, actually they're all winners, but I'll give it to 419, they kept their steps so much in time with the music. Are they still dancing the Polka today after all this time? It's 2018 and they're 7 years older, I wish them well.
Lindsey Clemons LOL Then you had to be raised on Polka, and if your young, that's why you don't like it, but trust me, keep all you can of your culture, learn the dance(even though Polka was born in Bohemia, its part of German culture as well). We are living in a world that throws everything away, and just wants constant change. Cultural music and dance, folk costumes and festivals to keep that alive are why our fore fathers were able to survive, and it shouldn't be thrown to the wayside because the world wants to move so fast. To my opinion, life is about "maintain", not "change"......
+OLD BAY my grandma was 100% German my grandpa was 50% german I really don't remember them playing polka music because I was young . when I was a teenager I did not see them too often because my mom wouldn't let us.
I'm glad they still do this in America. I enjoy watching it. Reminds me of when Grandma would get drunk off one beer and dance around. Good times.
So happy you still have those memories!!!
My grandma told me story's of how her uncles would get drunk and dance lmao
Mine, too.
I’m from Mexico and we enjoy polka music all around the country from different ages …… beer,tequila and food makes it happen 🤣proud of it
Supposedly a German boat washed ashore on Mexicp and the crew played polka music to the locals. From there the accordion was influence in Mexican folk music.
Yep us Mexicans are very German. Idk why Americans in the USA didn’t follow the polka music. Got changed to country which is ok but very different.
Oh I just love this!! Why do people not do this anymore! I have the best memories as a little girl twirling and dancing to polka music at festival on corner nights in Chicago in the early 70's!
If you still live there, enjoy for both of us. I miss my home.
Love watching this.Awesome dancer's
Wow, authentic and outstanding talent!
Before i die( im 61) i have to dance the polka! Reminds me of the Swiss Ital club at Yoris Grove in Ceres Ca growing up and Lawrence Welk too. This dance is fancier than i realized
I just adore Polka. thank you for sharing this.
We need to bring this back!
I really love to see more videos just like this,i use to watch big joe polka show all the time and Mollie B polka show all the time but i really don't have cable or satellite at all now so i can't watch it at all now
Robert Baker Try public television! Sometimes they offer polka shows!
@@FranRokickiRealtor im sorry to hear your sorrow robert
we used to heave a lot of these types of dances in pa but not now the dui laws killed it big time.
Y’all have check points over there?
Fantastic exercise. Burns more calories than downhill skiing!
Ta to piękny taniec i piekna muzyka.Sam żywioł na parkiecie ta-polka.Ponoć Czesi skoponowali tą muzykę!
Donny Osmond pants with the cheerleader outfit Won!!!👏
This is nice. Thanks for sharing.

very nice, great arobic workout
this reminds me of mexican norteno music and dance style .... there is no doubt , it came polish polka
+zenubi There is a hell of a German influence on Mariachi and much other Mexican music -- Mexico recruited a lot of German immigrants, and so did Texas. That's why Linda Ronstadt has Spanish for a first language and Shiner Bock is from Texas.
Germans settled in Sinaloa, where Banda and the other Norteno music started. That's why.
zenubi Mexico Copy polish
Fuggler Friends Mexico was INFLUENCED by polish but did not copy since the style is similar but definitely different.
redleg56 “recruited” lol they were colonized they didn’t recruit no one
It's 1am and I'm laying in bed watching a polka dancing competition video from 1989. What the fuck am I doing with my life? This is it. Rock fucking bottom..

Fun dancing. Love it.
Tradition very nice I like it
Vejam que danças maravilhosas!
Bravo from Australia 2018. Roland
Didn't realize the Polka is a tough dance to do, it sure looks it. You do this and you better have a lot of space. They look great!
Looks as physical if not more than riverdancing.
Bravo!!!
Apperantly YT thinks I like to watch this ... don’t know why ... but it’s true
they're groovin'
I wish I could dance like this.
If you're in the Midwest I guarantee there's a polka society in almost every county
Wonderful memories
I'm jealous!

I'm so stoned my brain can't even begin to process this
What song is this? Really catchy and I would like to know
Still don't know who won- should be couple #438 in red & white. They actually did kick between each others legs. Great timing!
419 won. George and Rose from Maryland

Leuk...♥️🕯️⭐🕯️♥️✳️
This isn't polka. I think I actually saw only one couple doing the actual polka step. These dances were more like fusions of swing and jive.
Wish I could find the one I was in.
This is beautiful,wonderful a pleasure to be hold !
Ahh the 80's..
Greg willen mi fa sentire vecchio
doesn't look anything like the polka I know.
O que eles estão dançando?
De onde é essa dança?
It looks like something that is a fun thing to do with someone.
But if you’re just gonna sit there to watch others do it, it’d be boring.
