This lens is here to provide you with a little information on the Waltz, and a lot of options for viewing and purchasing waltz music and dance lessons. I am providing a number of different options at different price points. I hope you will find the exact product and information you are looking for.

The Waltz is a genre of ballroom dance, and is part of the American smooth complement of dances. Generally slower than the viennese Waltz, the Waltz follows a range of 28 to 36 measures per minute.

The Waltz has a basic timing of 3/4. The downbeat is the first beat of the measure. The music rises in a crescendo from the first to the third beats, diminishing on the second half of the third beat.

In the International Standard Waltz, the couple never leaves the closed position. The American Style Waltz does break contact entirely in some figures, and allows for a good deal of variation.

Hesitation in a waltz refers to taking only one step in a three beat measure, rather than three steps. Hesitation is still widely used in dancing the waltz today.

Ballroom Dancing for Beginners DVD
Ballroom Dancing for Beginners will appeal to novice ballroom dancers who want an introduction to several different social dances. Instructor Teresa Mason, assisted by Randolph Scott, teaches basic patterns for six popular ballroom dances: fox-trot, cha-cha, tango, waltz, rumba, and swing. Mason sensibly begins by introducing steps that recur in many ballroom dances, such as walking step, rock step, and triple step; several dance positions; and music timing for different dances. Next you start learning specific dances. This 47-minute video is well instructed, not rushed or complex, and Mason doesn't try to pack too many moves into each dance.
