Slow Waltz

Waltz is a progressive dance, moving counter clockwise around the floor. It is characterized by rise and fall and sway. The feet stay in contact with the floor, creating a smooth, gliding look. Waltz has an elegant gracefulness with a romantic and sometimes sad feel, the steps being long, smooth, continuous, and flowing.
