		Koen's style of mazurka dancing is different than what is seen nowadays on folk bals in Flanders, and comes close to the way it used to be done in the seventies: more smooth and less hopping around.

		I really wanted to put in a Mazurka, but all the Mazurkas I have are Orchestral, and FNW shys away from that.
		Mazurka has been at the bottom of the desired list from our surveys, and that opinion has been reinforced by the repeated significant drop in attendance when we try mazurkas for class.
		Granted, polka redowa can handle faster songs than other mazurka variations like polka mazurka (slide cut hop slide cut leap) or what we think of as the basic mazurka step (slide cut hop), but the point is that mazurka waltz steps don't have to have their own songs.
