"The original Redowa waltz", by Jullien|thumb A redowa () is a dance of Czech origin with turning, leaping waltz steps that was popular in European ballrooms.
==History== The name comes from the Czech name rejdovák, derived from rej ("whirl"). Originally a folk dance, it first appeared into the salons in Prague in 1829 and fell out of fashion by 1840, though in the meantime it had spread beyond Bohemia.
