Waltz

waltzWhen the Waltz was introduced into the ballrooms of the world in the early 19th century, it was met with outrage. People were shocked! A man dancing with his hand upon a lady’s waist? When it was introduced in this country in 1840, it became one of the most popular of all American dances. The Box Step, typical of the American Waltz, was being taught in the 1880s, and continues to rise in popularity today. The Waltz is danced to a three count, and is one of the most graceful and elegant dances.
