Letkajenkka is not a folk dance! The Finnish folk dance is Jenkka which has completely other steps. Letkajenkka (= "Letkiss") is an artificial dance which has only the same rhythm as Jenkka. Sorry, I am going to travel this morning, so I have no time to correct this by myself. --145.254.146.69 06:03, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] La yenka
Coming from the 365 Days Project. Is this related to the Spanish hit of the 1960s La yenka? --84.20.17.84 11:59, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Letkajenkka is NOT Jenkka
Jenkka is an old Finnish Dance. It is danced with pairs. There are lots of Jenkkas composed by lots of composers. The steps of Jenkka have nothing to do with the steps descibed in this article.
But there is only one Letkajenkka. It uses only the speed and the rhythm of Jenkka, but is danced in a long queue. Letkajenkka was renamed as "Letkiss" and became famous in the whole world. Jenkka is only the source of Letkajenkka, but it is a completely different dance.
I am really tired to remove the wrong links from the German Wikipedia to the English Wikipedia which those stupid bots always set. As you can see, there are 2 different articles about Jenkka [1] and Letkajenkka [2] in the German Wikipedia.
Unfortunately, in the Finnish Wikipedia both dances are included in one article [3]. Maybe this confuses the stupid bots :( --193.57.156.241 12:49, 10 September 2007 (UTC) [4]
