Dorchester Polka Party At Eastside, July 16



Are you ready for polka? It's that time again.

Back by popular demand, Eastside Bar and Grill is hosting a big-time polka dance on July 16. 

Live music will be provided by Brad Husak, which cranks out traditional Czech polkas and waltzes, from accordion solos to five-piece full-band melodies.

The special will include: pork, Kraut, dumplings, dressing, gravy, vegetables, and rye bread.

The event will kick off at 4 p.m. and continue until 8 p.m. (or later if the rowdies demand it). 


Come dance to your favorite polka; or just sit and listen to the entertainment and catch up with friends.

In the meantime, here's a little trivia: Polka originated as a Czech peasant dance. Historic folklore has it that a peasant girl named Anna Slezak invented the steps one day for her own amusement. The word “pulka” is derived from the Czech phrase for “half-step,” which refers to the dance pattern of lightly stepping from one foot to the other.
