Czardasz Śląski

Czardasz Śląski, or Silesian Csardas, is a dance from the region of Cieszyn (CHYEH-
shihn). Taking its influence form the Hungarian csardas it consists of 3 distinct
melodies with varying tempos. Various forms of the csardas are also found in several
other southern regions of Poland like Spisz (speesh) and Orawa (oh-RAH-vah). The
locals of each of these regions adapted the dance to their liking and the results are an
interesting blend of the two cultures. The czardasz from Cieszyn is no exception with
its slow tempos and fancy footwork to the quick and lively polka sections.
