en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_Fling "The Highland Fling is one of the oldest of the traditional Highland dances of Scotland. Returning from a victorious battle, male warriors would perform the dance in celebration of their success.... This dance is now performed at dance competitions and events around the world. It is no longer danced on a shield, but it is still the goal of the dancer to stay in the same spot throughout the dance. The Highland Fling is danced at almost all competition levels, from Primary to Premier. It is also performed for most Highland and Theory examinations. Dancers wear the standard Kilt outfit to perform this dance."

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

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".
