The foundation of this dance is built on a series of fundamental movements. During your waltz lessons, we break down these five basic steps to ensure you feel comfortable moving across the floor.<\/p>

  1. The Basic Box Step: This is the most essential pattern. The waltz box step creates a square shape on the floor over six counts of music.<\/p><\/li>

  2. The Progressive Basic Step: This movement allows dancers to travel down the line of dance, moving forward or backward with fluidity.<\/p><\/li>

  3. The Left Turn: A turning variation of the box that rotates the couple in a counterclockwise direction.<\/p><\/li>

  4. The Right Turn: This step rotates the couple clockwise, which is vital for navigating a crowded dance floor.<\/p><\/li>

  5. The Underarm Turn: A stylish addition where the follower turns under the lead of the partner, adding flair to the routine.<\/p><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
