Troika is a Russian folk dance, where a man dances with two women.[1] The Russian word troika means three-horse team/gear. In the Russian dance the dancers imitate the prancing of horses pulling a sled or a carriage.
This dance is included into repertoires of virtually all Russian ethnographic dance ensembles.
Similar folk dances are known among other Slavic peoples, e.g., the Polish Trojak.
A Cajun dance of the same name, Troika, exists, and is very similar to the Russian dance. It has been suggested[citation needed] that the Cajun version of the dance originated at the times when Cossacks of the Russian tsar army were stationed in Paris.
