Western Waltz Dance

Western Waltz Dance Lessons

The Country Western Waltz or just Western Waltz is progressive, moving counter-clockwise around the dance floor. Both the posture and frame are relaxed. The exaggerated hand and arm gestures of some ballroom styles are not part of Western Waltz. Couples may frequently dance in the promenade position, depending on local preferences. The Dance has a slight rise and fall and is done to 3/4 time music. (Wikipedia)

History

Likely developed and practiced during barn dances of the early settlers, the more relaxed western waltz position was a precursor to the square dance position
