What does REDOWA mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A lively Bohemian folk dance, or the ballroom dance in triple time that was made from it.
The redowa began as a country dance among Czech villagers and reached the ballrooms of Western Europe around the 1840s, where it was danced alongside the waltz and the polka. Its music runs in three beats to the bar, and the steps combine a turning movement with a lilting rhythm. The name comes from the Czech word rejdovak, and the dance faded from fashion by the end of the nineteenth century.
