The Heel and Toe Polka Elements of composition The Heel and Toe Polka is a lively couple dance, danced in 2/4 time. Two partners face each other and go through multiple steps including; tapping their heels and toes, sliding from side to side, clapping each other’s hands and your own knees and spinning with your current partner to your next partner.
