Viennese Waltz
The Viennese Waltz is from the same root as the Waltz. Currently, the Viennese Waltz is danced at a tempo of about 180 beats per minute and in competition has only a very limited range of figures: Change Steps, hesitations, Hovers, Passing Changes, Fleckerelles with Contra-checks. The rapid pace and continuous circling will make the novice dizzy at first, but with practice it is a lot of fun. The nature of this dance requires both the leader and the follower to maintain a good frame. It is a "Smooth Dance" so it travels counter-clockwise around the room at high speed. Warning to new dancers. The outside edges and corners of the room are considered the Fast Lane and we pass on the outside! Until you learn to move together well you want to dance more to the center of the floor to allow the space for the more advanced dancers move freely.
