In American Smooth Style Viennesse Waltz open choreography is not only permitted but very common. In Standard International Style Viennese Waltz, you're correct, you must maintain a closed hold at all times. Also, tail coats are for International style, not American. Broaden your view, emROARS, and velcome to the "open" American style.

LOL that's not a Viennese Waltz. You have to stay in closed hold at all times. The only time you're not in closed hold is during the 16 bar opening.

Also he needs a better tailcoat. It looks too small on him.

@emROARS I agree about the coat. This one makes him look like a capuchin monkey.

From Fox Animation Studio's 1997 first animated feature film, Anastasia. It is track #3, 'Once Upon a December' by Liz Callaway.

@Kate0603 Thank you alot for the reply. A t least someone know's what i'm on about. To be fair, I'm female so i'm not too concerned about the tailcoat since it was usually done with my partners mother before I finished. All I know is that it doesn't look tailored to him at all.

@emROARS

I agree! Fancy footwork does not make a good dancer. Cleanly executed steps, nice flow and good posture do. I don't really see any of those here. This is an American invention, and not a real Viennese Waltz. I have been dancing for many years, so I know what I am talking about. As far as the tailcoat is concerned, it must be worn with a white bow tie and a matching waistcoat, unless he's the butler.

[emROARS]

@tteyegr Ok understandable. However in my defense I did not know it was an American Smooth because it's not mentioned. I have a hard time defining what it is most of the time because no one on the european international scene dances to it. And he is wearing a tailcoat, you can see them at the back.
