Description
We're sorry, but this activity is over. The last meeting was Tuesday, April 23, 2024.
The romantic Waltz is one of the most popular ballroom dances of all time. Considered by some as the "mother of present day dances" and the "backbone dance" of the ballroom, the Waltz is the basis for many dances. Developed in Germany, the Waltz is popular all over the world. A truly romantic dance, the Waltz is comprised of soft, round, flowing movements.
The Waltz is a smooth dance that travels around the line of dance. Characterized by its "rise and fall" action, the Waltz includes a step, slide, and step in 3/4 time, counted as "1,2,3 - 1,2,3. The first beat of each measure is accented, corresponding to the extended, highly-stretched step that is taken on the first count. With its distinctive rhythm pattern, the Waltz is easy to recognize and simple to learn.Age Category
