It is one of the five national dances of Poland,  the others being the krakowiak, mazur, oberek,  and polonaise.<\/p>\n<p>The music is in triple meter and fairly  slow. The dance usually involves couples walking gracefully in a  quarter-note (UK: crotchet) rhythm, on slightly bended knees, with  relaxed turns and gently swaying. Women&#8217;s Kujawiak dances are also  performed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you play a folk dance it is always recommended to watch a real dance to get a godd impression about the tempo and mood of the dance.
