Polka-mazurka is a dance that is close to the mazurka musically but whose movements are more like polka.

Many polkas-mazurkas were composed by Johann Strauss II and his family, with the exception of Johann Strauss I, who never composed for this type of dance. The first polka-mazurka written by the Strauss family is La Viennoise op. 144 by Johann Strauss II in 1854. Other Viennese composers also wrote polkas-mazurkas in the 1850s.

This dance, derived from polka, is intercultural. In particular, she was influenced by French polka with feminine and determined steps, but also by schnell-polka, a fast form of polka for which Edouard Strauss composed several famous pieces. code
