The Waltz

The Waltz

This one is Tyler's personal favorite dance.

The waltz is really a simple dance with extra moves added onto to it to change it up and keep it interesting. Once you know the core steps and beat of the dance you can add spins and dips as you please. After you learn this you wont have to worry about not knowing how to professionally dance for weddings or high class balls.

The core steps you take makes a square. From this square movement you can add your dips and spins as you want. The picture is kind of confusing so I'll talk about it.

1) Start with you feet together.

2) Take a step back with your right foot.

3) Move your left foot back and to the left.

4) Take your right foot and move it over to your left foot so they are together again.

5) Now that your feet are together again move your left foot forward.

6) Now move your right foot forward and to the right.

7) Lastly move your left foot to the right so your feet are together again.

Thanks to wiki I have a picture of the basic footwork. It helps to have both pictures and words.

This dance is always done with a partner. The guy holds one hand with the lady and have the other hand on  the girls waste. The girl holds one hand and has her free arm over the guys and on his shoulder.

Its easy to keep the beat for this dance to just remember 1-2-3--1-2-3
