Question

I'm really uncoordinated...how do you waltz?

Answer 1

Beginner waltz is very simple...step on each beat!  Men start left, women right.  The count goes 1,2,3, 4, 5,6.  The one and 4 counts are always done going straight ahead in what ever direction you are moving.

  Waltz has 'rise and fall', so the motion is like a wave rolling along- no stops, no edges, just a smooth flow.  You heel lead you step on 1, rise onto your toes on 2 and 3, lower and step on your heel on 4, rise onto toes on 5 and 6.

  Just start on the beginning of a phrase.

Answer 2

Pretend you are coordinated, it usually works :D
