POlka Lovers Klub of America (Po.L.K. of A.) - Arizona Chapter

We joined the POlka Lovers Klub of America for a Sunday afternoon dance at another resort in Mesa.

The band for the day we went was from Minnesota -- they just come to Mesa during Spring break time as some of the band members are in college.

One of the things we like about going to the Po.L.K.of A. dances is that the dance floor is not very crowded. The dance floor at Las Palmas Grand also is a very nice floor.

Lots of people from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa who love to polka.

Their flyer for this season.

We are not polka dancers, but when we've gone before, the band has played two polkas, two waltzes, two Latin songs, and two country songs. The band when we went this time did a lot more polkas, and their waltzes were VERY fast (probably 6/8 time rather than 3/4 time). We generally enjoy waltzing and country/western timed (4-count) music. Each band that plays for the Po.L.K. of A. dances has their own style and favorites -- I would say that the one we happened to pick this time didn't play as much music that we enjoyed dancing to as others might.

We'll still go back again -- we like the dance floor, and the members of the club are very welcoming.
