Re: Waltz or mazurka ?

Wikipedia
The mazurka (in Polish mazurek, plural mazurki) is a Polish folk dance in triple meter, usually at a lively tempo, and with "strong accents unsystematically placed on the second or third beat.

I don't know for sure, but for a mazurka you need to count until twelve with dancing and with a waltz it's always 1,2,3
