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".

Queensland’s Assistant Minister for Multicultural Affairs’ story is typical of the children of the first wave of Italian, German, and Greek post-war migrants to Queensland.
