Krakoviak Dance, Bronx Park, 1911 (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Art Siegel said:

  From Krakow, it seems. Want to do your own Krakoviak dance? Instructions here: www.yiddishdance.com/Krakoviak.pdf

• Wojtek Felendzer said:

  In Polish, the spelling would be "krakowiak". The word also means "a male resident of Kraków". And, as if there were not enough confusion, a female resident of Kraków would be "krakowianka".

  Just letting it be known that this shot was done in tableau because the slow film could not yet capture most real-time sporting movements without serious blurring. I have seen some nice pan shots of horses though.
