Mazurka is a folk dance from Mazuvia, Poland.

Mazurka is a Polish folk dance. Its movements include sliding steps, spinning in pairs, and women running briskly around men. The music characteristics of Mazurka are: medium speed, three beats, many changes in stress, usually falling on the second and third beats, and lively and enthusiastic emotions.

Generally, the stress of a three-beat piece of music falls on the first beat of the measure, but the mazurka often falls on the second or third beat. For example, in Thomson's "Mazurka" published in "Easy Music Score", the stress of most measures is like this. The emotions expressed in Mazurka are generally lively and enthusiastic
