Recently somebody asked for true American western dance tunes, and Mudcatter Stewie mentioned an old dance called the varsoviana (Spanish) or varsovienna (French.)

I enjoy old tunes, so I have found two varsoviennes and made MIDI's of them. I will send them to Joe for posting, and they should appear here soon. I hope some kind person will make and post the abc versions, as well.

Both tunes have the alternate tittle "Put Your Little Foot Right Here." if you search for that on YouTube, you will find two videos which show the courtly way this dance was performed.

The name comes from "Warsaw," and to me the tunes have a European air. They remind us that a good many Germans and Czechs settled in the West.
