The Waltz

Andy has been playing a couple of waltz tracks at low volume at the end of each night after the lights have come up. His intention was to play something nice while people are changing out of their dance shoes, finding their coats, etc. However, quite a few people have started to actually waltz to these tracks! Some nights there's so many people waltzing you'd believe we'd been transported to Vienna.

We will, from time to time, run a basic waltz lesson before our Sunday freestyle so you can join in with the waltz. However, if you can't wait, here is a basic waltz lesson from youtube.



This is a lovely demonstration of the basic natural and reverse turns. This is the basic 18 steps and will get you around the floor with style. The frame, hold and steps are emphasised in this demonstration and that's what makes it so good. However, you do it all much smaller when you're dancing socially!



And for those who want to go a bit further.
