	Polish Dance ~ Mazurka
		An important fact in the history of the mazurka is its appearance in the Polish national anthem.
		Mazurek D±browskiego (D±browski Mazurka) was created in 1797 as a Song of the Polish Legion for the troops of General Jan D±browski, serving Napoleon during his conquest of Europe with the hope of regaining Poland's independence.
		In America, the mazurka (the title was usually in this spelling) appeared in 1840s; salon composers wrote the mazurkas as dances associated with Poland and its celebrated loss of independence, or as fashionable dances dedicated to society ladies.

		The original folk mazurka is a combination of three dances, but is flexible to allow an improvisational section for new parts.

		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.
		This is realised by marking the beats in the mazurka (M) sequence (which goes // L R R-hop // for the gents and with opposite footwork for the ladies) much more gently.

		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.
