Viennese Waltz by Frankie and Rita practised in 2004
What is now called the Viennese waltz is the original form of the waltz and the first ballroom dance in the closed hold or "waltz" position.

Please see other dances in my Ballroom Dance Website

The Viennese Waltz is a rotary dance where the dancers are constantly turning either in a clockwise (natural) or anti-clockwise (reverse) direction interspersed with non-rotating change steps to switch between the direction of rotation. A true Viennese waltz consists only of turns and change steps. Other moves such as the fleckerls, American-style figures and side sway or underarm turns are modern inventions and are not normally danced at the annual balls in Vienna

I have never had the chance to study the Viennese waltz so closely. I seem to been kept rotating too long in one direction because my partner seems reluctant to reverse the direction. This clip shows how easy it is with a simple chain step to change direction. Thank you
