Okay, now that we have you understanding the footwork to it, now let's speed it up to real time. Usually a Polka is done in a 120 tempo. That's 120 beats per minute. But don't worry about this; we're going to show you in real time. And, Elaine, are you ready? Let's go! One, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three. So to see what we're doing, now, we want to show you the reverse angle. So just keep going and dance along with us. And, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three. As you can see, we have that bounce, there's a slight heel kick. But don't worry about that, by the time we're done with you, you're going to be Polka-ing like the best of us. And, we're going to take that one more time. Are you read? Let's go! And, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three. See how much fun this is? You're having a great time already.
