Ask Zosia

How can I turn on my kids to the wonders of polka music?

My dear Parent,
Alas, from what Zosia is seeing of American youths, perhaps best way is in forbidding them to listen to it.
Ha Ha! This is small joke Zosia is making. 
Perhaps this is seeming oddball, but Zosia must be surmising that young peoples are responding most favorably to music made by young peoples.  Perhaps you are having successes with your kids by playing very old polka musics made when polka bands were mostly young peoples themselves.  She is noticing that old LPs of bands such as Connecticut Twins and Johnny Prytko and Walt Solek and Larry Chesky are having much wildness and vigor that some younger peoples are liking very much. 
Best of luck to you, Mr (or Ms) Parent

Dear Zosia,
Where can I learn to dance the polka in New York City?

My Dear City-Dweller,
Zosia is thanking you for question.  Her heart is soaring to know that there are being more peoples who want to learn this charming and graceful dance.  While she is not so familiar with New York as other places, she is suspecting that there are dancing teachers.  If this is not to your liking, she suggests that you go to a place where the polka is being danced, choose a most attractive person of the opposite gender, and asking them "Please kind sir (or lady), will you be so kind as to show me some basic rudiments of this lovely dance."  It is permissible to bribe this person with the offer of a drink at your own expense.  In this way, perhaps you are not only learning the dance you are wanting, but also making charming new acquaintances.
Zosia is hearing that Bayway Polish home, not such a long drive from NYC, is being fine place to learn to dance the polka and following this learning, to dance said dance.
Fondest regards,
Zosia
