Far too tight definition edit

This page describes only one kind of several major slängpolska types, and furthermore is too specific in its definition even within this slängpolska type.

The slängpolska currently described on the page belongs to a more general type with varying steps, holds, divisions between parts and even number of couples involved in one dance (foursomes are common), but all having in common that the dance can be danced on the spot. The "tossing" in the name slängpolska = "toss polska" often occurs in the form of sweeping movements with the legs, or the change between positions with a tossing of arms.

Another type of slängpolska, from the middle to the north of Sweden, has more in common with other polskas than the slängpolskas above. They often have a jump or lift in common, which for these dances is responsible for the name slängpolska = "toss polska". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beryllium-9 (talk • contribs) 21:55, 9 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
