Aaron1912, parabéns pelos vídeos postados. Sou professor de Dança de Salão no Brasil e regularmente uso seus vídeos em minhas aulas para que meus alunos observem as técnicas dos séculos XIX e XX.

Obrigado (:

this is not the viennese waltz by strauss

[Aaron1912]

It's a dance called the Viennese Waltz. Strauss composed songs, not dances. This music composition is called Jazz Suite No.2 by Shostakovich.

I'm getting dizzy watching them! So beautiful though-who is the music by?

[Aaron1912]

Shostakovich - Jazz Suite No. 2

Although I am sure it's been said a few times...tell within 3 seconds that this is clearly Waltz # 2, written by Russia's own Dmitri Shostakovitch. I am starting to recognize certain pieces just by the first few notes without lyrics, which I never could do before. I am glad my grandmother exposed me to classical my whole life, otherwise I would be missing out like that one guy who disliked this video.

I like this version better...it's stronger, with a nice waltz bounce...the others are a bit soft and wimpy

My favorite dance :)

@jamesaugusta Well hello Vienna! I am in New York City

[jamesaugusta]

@koreamy It's meant to make people dizzy. Here in Vienna it's still a very popular dance, the one dance people kind of master, even if they can't dance a single other one, I think. One of our comedians Josef Hader calls it "very tightly going in a merry-go-round". (*Ouch*, that phrase doesn't travel well at all in translation, but just think of the giant wheel and sparkling wine and being a little bit silly for a laugh.)

The black/white footage does not exactly fit to the rhythm. Have you thought of synchronizing it?

Also, the end of candles and gaslight probably had something to do with its demise!
