Where it started...
an Austrian country dance originally
music in 3/4 and had hopping steps.
by late 18t century, hops were replaced by slides and the Waltz became a fashionable urban dance
It differed from other dances with its turning steps and the couples circling on a dance floor
The closed hold made the dance seem more daring as it meant there was close contact
the couple bow and curtseyed before dancing
Would have been danced by men and women in public and private ballrooms by the upper and middle class
