Waltz is Easy to Learn and Oh-So Romantic

dance-studios-for-adults-01
The Waltz may have gotten its start in Old World Europe, but these days it’s as popular as ever throughout the world. The word “Waltz” means to glide easily and, for those who enjoy more formal dancing styles, it certainly lives up to its name.
Further, the Waltz is now the epitome of couples’ romance -- popular at weddings and social parties -- because of its close-holds and graceful movements. But this wasn’t always the case! In fact, in 19th Century England, people were horrified by seeing a man and woman dance in public together. People quickly changed their minds toward the waltz, however, because it was easy to embrace the passion of the dance. (Plus, Queen Victoria was a huge fan of the beautiful new dance style!)
Today, the Waltz is a high-society activity that now welcomes anyone and everyone with an interest in taking over the dance floor in style.
The tempo of the Waltz can best be described as a “rise and fall” motion. It’s unique because of all the ballroom and social dances, the Waltz is the only one written in three-quarter time. While many dances follow a 1-2-3-4 or 1-2 cadence, the American Waltz is a 1-2-3 or “quick, quick, quick” movement.
