Learn to dance Waltz

Considered the mother of present day dances, the Waltz began in southern Germany in the seventeenth century.  The popularity of the Waltz grew with the music of Johann Strauss and eventually blossomed in the 20th century.  It is the bases for many dances and is popular today all over the world.

The basic components of Waltz are walking steps and side steps.  Rise and Fall and Body Sway are some of the styling characteristics which make the simplest Waltz patterns elegant and beautiful.

Popular Waltz songs include:

Moon River - Andy Williams
Open Arms - Mariah Carey
Could I Have This Dance - Anne Murray
Are You Lonesome Tonight? - Elvis Presley

The elegant sweeping movement of the Waltz gives dancers a chance to practice balance and to move lightly with ease.
