Mazur (dance)

The Mazur is a Polish folk and ballroom dance with origins in the region of Mazovia.

[1] The Mazur is performed in 3/4 or 3/8 time and lively tempo.

[1][5] It is characterized by its tendency to accent the second or third beat and a rhythmic figure of a 4-syllable group, consisting of two quavers (eighth notes) and two crotchets (quarter notes), and is a joyful, dynamic dance.

The man leading the Mazur is called a "wodzirej".
