It combines elements of the waltz, mazurka, and polka. W: The dance originated around 1850 in Warsaw, Poland. The words varsovienne and varsoviana W: are French and Spanish feminine adjectives, respectively, meaning 'from Warsaw'. W: The dance was popular in 19th-century America, where it was danced to the tune Put Your Little Foot. W: It quickly became a favorite folk dance in the Scandinavian countries as well. W: The unique armhold by the same name – also known as the promenade hold W: – is used in other dance styles such as the American square dance, contra dance, and some ballroom dances. W: A varsoviana tune plays an important role in Tennessee Williams' play A Streetcar Named Desire.
