Whats your best Polka Experience ?

18. When I was in 6th grade, we had a social dance unit in P.E.

We practiced the various dance steps using ball bats as partners, then danced with fellow students.

The day we learned the polka happened to be during "parents week" when parents were invited to stop in to school and observe their kids' classroom experiences.

My parents stopped in while my class was in P.E. trying to polka with bats. The gym teacher looked at my parents and said, "I bet you've done a polka or two in your day. Would you demonstrate?"

Well, my mom kicked off her shoes, and she and my dad polka-ed all over the gym - my mom was doing some fancy double-time step, and they literally traveled the entire floor over the course of the song- it was fantastic! I've been partial to the polka ever since.
