Viennese Waltz

[nilssonisabella]

Does anyone know who the dancers are?

[Saschgede]

@nilssonisabella Markus and Karen Hilton

[Audeladesapparences]

For my Friend KP who likes and loves Viennese Waltz :-)

Jean-Jacques.

[AetAeternum]

This dance made me fall in love with the Viennese waltz.

[12DeleteYourself]

what's the difference between viennese and regular waltz?

[Artemisss1]

@12DeleteYourself A Viennese waltz is much faster, with less variation. A Viennese waltz is all turning around, as you see in the video, whereas an English waltz is very slow with a lot of steps rather then turning around. Click the video that's titled 'Waltz' in the list and you'll see.

[12DeleteYourself]

@Artemisss1 thanks :)

[Artemisss1]

@12DeleteYourself You're welcome. I just saw that the other video I mentioned, is also a lot of turning round. XD Professionals. But what I said is still true, haha.

[musiclover57639]

I'd like to have a recording and if possible the sheet music of this waltz. It is so beautiful. Can anyone help me?

[wolfmutes]

this was fun-ny interestingly becuse I found the timing to be some how amusing.

[terrok1952]

najpiękniejsze walce wiedeńskie!

[foamulator]

I have to say that I am a little confused. I thought the leader's left foot was supposed to pass his right on the progressive turn. I dont see it here.

[imadimad007]

nice video

[redrosas]

Love this....thanks.

[bla7091]

definitely not my favourite dance but they made it look wonderful!

[piva900]

Why the dislikes? Any reasons?

[christholst13]

@piva900

People with out taste - just ignore them :)

[theatreteacher09]

she should be wearing a different color dress. She looks like the curtains

[ginnyly]

@theatreteacher09 I think her dress is perfectly! and u don't have thing to tell her should or should not wearing :-??

[caesiume]

The best waltz on YouTube.

[treakreis]

Really nice. Look like they are flying!!

What's the name of this song??

[loulou1934]

Félicitation c'est magnifique vue par Mme Raymonde Darre de Nouméa

[XtremeDance10]

Cool Beans!

[35milplug]

I doubt they've been dancing for longer than about a year, personally l wouldn't go as far as saying he sucks, but the point still stands, the pair of them have trained for hours non stop, which is paying off, but it's the subtlety they lack. I think that can still come with time...

[babycatcher2004]

You are joking, aren't you?! If you're not, then you clearly don't know who these two are!

[hoangson0403]

beautiful :)

[babycatcher2004]

FreestyleBoy2010 says, "he sucks". What a profound statement! May beFreestyleBoy2010 it is your right to say what you believe but sometimes that belief can be just outright wrong. I wonder if you realise who those two dancers are?

[bethbas]

My god.. How his managing to miss her toes? If I tried this, I'd have crushed my partner's feet.

[Jennamomo]

@bethbas practice my dear, practice...

[incognito710]

she's hiding or running away from a kiss :))

[catgirl01]

i never understood why the female's head has to be positioned like that. so stiff. it looks awkward to me.

[sylvernights]

Ballroom dancing is more than just dancing it's an art form, you have to pair elegance with ballroom dancing. That's why it's so aesthetically pleasing to watch.

[dahamariz]

is part of the dance, makes it look more elegant

[daveheel]

i agree. tilt of the head makes it look very elegant.

[joshdance]

Try it and you'll see why it is. It's not stiff at all, but very flexible and moveable.

[catgirl01]

@joshdance but it looks so impersonal. like she's looking away from her partner.

[8marsu89]

is it right that the steps are almost the same as from the walz. like, back side side, front side side. just if you do side side you cross your feet

[Gaaraslittleyasha]

oh the irony! this is the same as one of the figure skating dances!... i currently cant remember whish one though

[EmmaWatsonStar]

I can tell you, dancing the Viennese Waltz is tiring but really good for your condition. You really feel like a swan and if the man leads well, it can look really beautiful :D. I once scored an 8.5 for VW, I loved it! :D

[Czerniakowska]

I learned ballroom dancing in Vienna, where I lived at the time, and the VW would always be the final dance of the night. Oddly enough, most Viennese prefer the "English Langsamer (Slow) Waltz" (as they call it). I always had trouble with that change step from the reverse turn to the natural turn.

[MusicoNato]

cool!

coitada da mulher, deve ta enjoada de tanto rodar!

[Brettrawr7]

gay.

[katseihitora]

Ugh this is making me sick, it's too dizzying! @,@

[Juenther]

Song is called "Mignonette" played from the Orchestra Werber Tauber...

[haylinotilia]

what's the song name?? pleaseee

[jackiegast]

<3 me encanta!!! <3<3<3<3<3

[littlehagg94]

for Viennese waltzes, aren't they supposed to be standing far apart? because i read that when the Viennese waltz was invented, it was for military people and they had to stand far apart because of the buttons and pins on their jacket. Or can someone correct me?

[KenKY4]

That may have been the case in the 19th century, but now body contact is a must in modern ballroom dancing. It is only poor dancers or beginners who dance apart.

[littlehagg94]

Oh! Ok, Thank you for correcting me!

[moneymail002]

Yes, they are in fact supposed to be standing on opposite sides of the room. While dancing.

Sarcasm aside, I'm not the biggest expert on the subject, but if you ever tried dancing this you'd know that the farther apart your legs and hips are, the harder it is to dance. Essentially, it can't be done properly if your hips aren't together. But there is quite some separation in the upper body, which is where the buttons and pins on the jackets would have been anyway.

[2cute4u6]

i learned this in my dance class and it is very simple but VERY VERY fast but it is sooooooooooooooo much fun

[triskubitch]

dude from the begining it made me dizzy haha but very lovely i wish i could waltz

[autumnguy72]

whatever works and frees the correct foot...

[ilovejenaniston]

I think both is correst, but i find, that the chassé looks more elegant.

[BeatriceWasHere]

Marvelous! Thank you so much!! :)

[presidentndt]

The symphony name is Mignonette (by Orchester Werner Tauber)

[Papkazz]

Thank you very much :) have a nice day :)

[musiclover57639]

@presidentndt Thank you very much for posting this information.

[Papkazz]

Perfect dancing and with out question very beautiful! I love Marcus and Karen..

I would like to know the name of this viennese waltz? I anybody know, please share. Thanks

btw. why do people call the first figure "fleckerl"? My dance-mates call it "flecker" too... I believe the right name for the figure is "fleckroll" :)

But anyway, it a difficult figure to do :) but Karen and Marcus are executing it extremely well :)

[eorlas1]

meh, it could be either of the 3 (although I do believe it's fleckerl)

might as well call it spinny-thingy :P i cant wait to learn it.

[Monopoly45]

I am perfect dancer of Viennese Waltz and I think that this video is great, but there are many things thay could make.

[blossita]

I'm learning it now!!! and it's sooo hard for me. too hard :((

[georgewu5]

Continued:Admit that no one would spend that many hours on something simple on the surface! A Fleckerl? No way!you would say. Atthe end of that many hours I spent on a subject matter, I must have got more out of it than you would on the way you learn yourFleckerls! one thing is like that;everything is like that! How can you say that no onewould learn anything from videos. You must be preety stupid to sweep your generalization!-dancewu(dot)ne­t

[georgewu5]

Today's technology is amazing! with the videos and YouTube, we could see the best dancers showing us how to do the best possible way to dance! For those people who argued that "no one" could learn dancing from the videos and yet you find them writing comments every day after they watched the world champions dancing. This is not possible even a few years ago! Now who needs to pay hundreds of dollars an hour lessons any more? Have you ever heard of the term,"self-taught"????---dance­wu(dot)net

[georgewu5]

For those who claimed that no one could learn from the videos or the books, I have this answer for them. Take the Fleckerls in Viennese Waltz as example: 1) there are only few dancers in the world could do the Fleckerls well as the Hiltons, if you do not have the money to go to England to take private lessons from them,the videos are the only source one could see the real McCoy from!2) I remember I had to spent several weeks to try to understand how it was done and several weeks to sketch them.

[wrath687]

Ooh.. beautiful... I want to learn to dance like that ;D

[slam5]

Not too many dancers I know can start a v. waltz with a fleckerls. Neat!

[waldteufel78]

I am quite sure this is NOT a Johann Strauss composition !

[firstalto13]

it is not a strauss waltz. the snare lands perfectly on 2,3. Strauss waltzes' 2 is the and of one dragged closer to two.

[georgewu5]

In 1993, Marcus won over John Wood in the British open was just because he did better in the Viennese waltz which he got the first place that won the championship by a very small margin. Marcus really knew what he was doing. Paying attention to the best dancer in the world would build up the confidence in the techniques and therefore we would enjoy dancing more.---dancewu(dot)net

[sunnybell07]

georgewu5: Thank you so much for taking this time and posting the sketch. I will try to make sense of it if I can...(I wonder if it is possible to print it out somehow...) It is definitely not an easy step, and reading your first response to my question I am already amazed! God bless you for dancing at this age! Keep it up :)

[georgewu5]

sunnybell07: I could not write certain things in YouTube. So I will make it brief. Go to my web site page 4, there is a bigger version of the Fleckerls.---dancewu(dot)net

[POLMAZURKA]

nice body sway, etc

[sunnybell07]

Is it possible to know the technique of the steps and footwork in the beginning of this video's sequence? In particular, the fleck roll? Would anybody know? Thank you very much.

[georgewu5]

sunnybell07: Yes, I have sketched the road maps of one of the most difficult figures, the fleckerls, but did not post it. Most professionals today did not spend time and effort to learn the steps of the Fleckerls, therefore in most competitions, you could not see competitors doing them--- they avoided them altogether. But for me, I actually used the fleckerls to catch up with my breath,( I am 71 years old.) Otherwise I would have dropped dead on the dance floor long time ago!---dancewu(dot)net

[georgewu5]

sunnybell07: In a hurry, I uploaded my Viennese Waltz Fleckerls just for you, becacuse I saw sincerity in your post that I did not want to waste time to diasappoint you. Hope you learn something from the World's best champion Marcus Hilton through my drawings. Type "georgewu5" in YouTube, see if you could read the fine prints.---dancewu(dot)net

[georgewu5]

The yellow and white dressed, 22 years old black haired young lady from the MIT Gold Standard Viennese Waltz competition sunnybell07: How are the Fleckerls treating you these days? any progress since 8 months ago? Hope you did give a try from Marcus and Karen Hilton's teaching by now?When you are no longer 22 years old forever, that is the time to use the Fleckerls to catch up with the breath! I did!---dancewu(dot)net

[geo2005b]

great, they are the best

the song is definitely by yohann strauss, but I don't know which, any ideas?

[coocoo54]

I thank that is Marcus and Karen Hilton.

[ivatoneva]

It is really the best performance of Viennese waltz on Youtube, in my opinion!

[bhcghost]

I like this video...very, very well done. I've had quite a bit of training here over 12-15 years and timing-wise, this seems one of the best on YouTube.

V. Waltz is my favorite to watch, but if the timing's off it just isn't enjoyable. But, then, you are pros, right, and pros have to make it look easy.

[eweb16]

what's the name of the song?

they're really good, congrats...

[ivatoneva]

What is the name of the song (the composition)? Maybe it is of Strauss or I am wrong?

[ivatoneva]

What is the name of this Viennese waltz?

[presidentndt]

This clip of Viennese Waltz hasn't got any name. It's in a syllabus only. Thank you very much

[D1oS9669]

@ivatoneva got the one as an MP3 if you want...

[ivatoneva]

Very nice - the music and the dance!
