Špacírka

The Špacírka is a moderately fast Bohemian dance in two quarter time. It starts out slowly by the dancer(s) walking from which it got its name - in Czech, špacírovat (coming from the German word Spazieren) means 'to walk around.'

The dance was used by some Czech composers, for example Antonín Dvořák in his Slavonic Dances - The Špacírka is the fifth dance from opus 72.
