High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The schottische is a partnered country dance, Bohemian in origin. It was popular in Victorian era ballrooms (part of the Bohemian "folk-dance" craze) and left its traces in folk music of countries as distant as France, Spain (chotis), Portugal (choutica), Italy and Sweden. The schottische is considered by the Oxford Companion to Music to be a kind of slower polka, with continental (European) origin. After 1848 many old ballroom variants of schottische were danced in California. The old "Five-Step Schottische" and a Highland Schottische with modifications were included on lists of ballroom dances of the period. Four of the variants had quite striking similarities with the second half of each dance described as turning with two-step. This is similar to the old "Glide Polka" (step-close-step, with no hop) or the galop (glide,change,glide).
