Learn The Waltz

Posted by admin - December 1st, 2007

The Basic Requirements of the Waltz

  • The footwork and steps should be kept very simple
  • There should be a slight swaying action from the couple - a musical lilt - a gentle rise and fall.
  • There is a lot of rotation that requires some getting used to.

The Basic Steps of the Waltz

The Waltz has the least steps of all dances, there are only 3 setps to master -

  1. Natural turns - turn to the right
  2. Reverse turns - turn to the right
  3. Change step - this step is executed in-between the natural and reverse steps and is used to aid the dancers to move to the other foot.

Below is a step-by-step guide to doing these basic steps as well as the other components of the Waltz. To see how the Waltz should be done I would recommend you
