How to dance

  1. Pick a direction. The line waits for the first step, then dances to the beat.
  2. Touch the guests. Every guest you touch joins the end of the line – one after the other for a combo up to ×5.
  3. Catch the shy ones. They run when you come close. Golden stars are worth 500 points.
  4. Don't crash. A wall, a table or your own line costs a life and half of the polonaise.
  5. Fill the line. Enough dancers clear the song – the next one is longer and faster. Endless songs.

Grab a shoulder. Join the line!

The club is packed, the DJ is spinning and the mirror ball is turning. Polonaise Guy leads the polonaise – and now the dance floor fits in your pocket.
