The basic steps of waltz

Basic steps:

1. Forward square step and backward square step

The first beat, men go in left, women go back right. There are side movements.

The second beat , the male right foot brushes past the left foot, moves one step across, and leans to the left. Be careful not to cross out diagonally. The woman's left foot brushes the right foot, moves one step across, and tilts to the right. Be careful not to step back diagonally.

On the third beat, men and women close their feet together at the same time. Note the holding of the tilting and rising movements to alternate the transformation of the center of gravity and descent.

Fourth beat, man retreats to the right, woman advances to the left. There is a sideways movement.

Fifth beat, the man's left foot brushes past his right foot, moves one step sideways, and tilts to the right. Do not go backward diagonally and directly. The woman's right foot brushes the left foot, moves one step across, and tilts to the left. Do not step out diagonally.

Sixth beat, men and women close their feet together at the same time. Pay attention to the tilt and upward movement of the hold, above the alternating center of gravity and downward transformation.?

At this point, we are back to the original starting point. It's time to practice again in an infinite loop.

Viennese Waltz

Viennese Waltz melody is smooth and gorgeous, the rhythm is easy and fast, for the 3/4 beat rhythm, 56 to 60 bars per minute, each bar for the three beats, the first beat for the beat, and the fourth beat for the second beat. The basic pace is six steps in six beats, two bars for a cycle, the first bar for a rise and fall. The basic movement is a quick rotating step from left to right, accomplishing techniques such as reversing, tilting, swinging and lifting.

Waltz (Waltz) with a w. Also called "slow triple step". Also known as "slow three steps". One of the modern dance program. Dance melody is beautiful and lyrical, the rhythm is 3/4 of the slow plate, 28 to 30 bars per minute.

Three beats per bar for a group of steps, one step per beat, the first beat for the heavy beat, three steps of an undulating cycle. Through the movement of knees, ankles, soles, and heel and palm toes, combined with the lifting, tilting, and swinging of the body, the dance is driven to move, so that the dance is undulating and continuous, and the dance posture is gorgeous and elegant.

It is a variation of the Vienna Waltz (fast three steps), which was introduced to the U.S. in the mid-19th century, when the U.S. advocated soothing and beautiful dance and music, so the fast-paced Vienna Waltz gradually changed into a slow, lyrical melody of the slow waltz, and the dance was changed into a coherent and sliding slow step, which is the waltz of today.
