| Viennese Waltz |
The Viennese waltz originally comes from the South German Alps Area. During the 18th century the dances: Weller, Walzer and L鋘dler were found, this last dance the L鋘dler is originally the forerunner of our Viennese Waltz. Between 1800 and 1820 the steps and figures from the L鋘dler were reduced due to the speed of music and the 6 step Viennese Walz was born.
During the Sixties a lot of discussion was going on between Germany and the U.K concerning the number of Viennese Waltz variations allowed in Competitions. In 1983 the I.C.B.D. took the final decision: Natural and Reverse Turns, Natural and Reverse Fleckerls, The Contra Check change from reverse fleckerl to natural fleckerl danced over one bar of music
In my opinion the may add more figures to the Viennese Waltz to stimulate the developemnt more in a positive direction figures like: Throwaway Oversway, Natural Hinge line on right side, Natural Off-beat Spins. |
