22. People Named Polka Dances After Julia
As a socialite, Julia spent much time at dances. She also hosted a lot of dances at the White House during her eight months as First Lady. Therefore, it never surprised anyone that people started naming polka dances after her.
One of the biggest dances Julia became known for was dancing too close to men whom she did not marry. While this did not become a popular dance, one person named a polka dance, “The Julia Waltzes.” She became so elated about this dance, and she let everyone know they named it after her.
