Introduction to the timing of Waltz:
The way you count the Waltz is 1,2,3 - 1,2,3. The Waltz has a strong accent on count 1, so most figures start on that count. All the beats in the Waltz are equal and the tempo is usually slow.
How to Waltz lesson #1: Waltz box step:
This is the box step, which is the most fundamental dance step in the Waltz. To learn this step you just need to imagine you have a box in front of you and then you going to step on the corners of the box. You will also get a good demonstration of the "rise and fall" technique which is used through out the Waltz. Go ahead and try it it out!
How to Waltz lesson #2: The box step turning to the left
Now we will take the same box you learned above and we'll show you how to turn it around on one spot. It is imperative that you have mastered the regular Waltz box step (the lesson above) before you try to turn it. To turn it, all you have to do is do the box while turning the shoulders to the left, slowly turning around and bringing your partner with you.
