It’s very late at night and I have the urge to waltz. Thank you for teaching me.
Same

Same here
Same haha
Something I would want. But, my house doesn’t have space for dance.
It’s about midnight and I felt like this was something I had to learn! Thanks for helping!
Ive always wanted to learn to ballroom dance because its such a beautiful form of dance i hope it never dies
I used to do ballroom dancing as a kid and I’ve had a random urge to learn it again
It's actually quite fun to do the Viennese Waltz. A girlfriend and me did waltzing in addition to swing and latin at a dance studio during middle school.
Thanks.
I watched Andre Rieu’s concerts and fell in love with waltz.
I’m using these steps to dance with my daughter in her quinceañera waltz. Daughter and Father dance
Thanks! Wish you to enjoy daughter and father waltz!
I adore watching this man, such a brilliant dancer, I'm taking lessons and given me so many tips.....I wish I'd started dancing years ago as I love it, I'm slowly getting there now!
Elaine, really glad you find my dance videos helpful!
Thank you for posting and I'm learning to dance for a charity but, I am going to carry on, because I really love it!
I love this dance! Kinda reminds me of the beauty & the beast dance.
Wonderful instruction, I will arrive to my next dance lesson with a slight head-start thanks to these waltz videos! Thanks very much to you and your lovely partner!
Hello, my friend and I are learning to waltz and have learnt from your videos! We're not super great yet but have only had one chance to dance together so far and are looking forward to learning more from your videos. Thank you!
Wish you learn more and enjoy your dancing!
It's easy, elegant and clear instructions. Love it.
It’s midnight and for some reason I had the urge to learn to waltz, great video ❤
Çooxxx Çooxx təşəkkürlər çox peşəkar və ecazkar görünürsüz. Siz dən çox şeylər öyrənməliyəm. Məni yönləndirdiyiniz üçün sağolun.
Your great and so is your partner
Great instructor. Clear instructions. Much appreciated !
+rho lees, thanks
Отличное видео! Первоначально зашел посмотреть из чистого любопытства, но увидел этот великолепный урок, и захотелось научиться танцевать вальс. Буду учиться. Большое спасибо, Эгилс!
Спасибо! Желаю насладиться движением и выучить этот вальс!
Also thank you for your videos! I have been watching them for the past couple days learning them.
Oh my gosh it's so pretty why cant I live somewhere where this is commonly known
Well, at least some people here in cowboy country USA know how to swing dance so that's my only consolation
Thanks for appreciating our video! Egils from Riga, Latvia 🇱🇻 :)
Hello ! This is great ! I will search the feet movement diagram so I can understand more. Living in an eastern country, Indonesia, with no culture of Waltz, it's so helpful to learn from videos like this.
Thanks, hope you will enjoy Viennese Waltz! Here is playlist of my all Viennese Waltz videos ruclips.net/p/PLxIl8YU658TvCVdA-ALE4rdieBY7V4ZqI
I really like the way you explain steps. Could you please show the change and close from natural to reverse, and reverse to natural? My husband and I are planning to do this at our anniversary party. Thanks.
Thanks! Wish you a successful anniversary party! Here is another Viennese Waltz video with all you need: ruclips.net/video/VtYO4tY97r4/видео.html
@@EgilsSmagris Thanks so much. I have subscribed your channel.
Very nice
It suddenly clicked into place. Thank you so much.
Happy to hear about your "click" :)
I have seen the side steps being used in high level competitions. They are just like the samba steps. Are they an accepted step in comps? Your partner was trying to restrain her smile during the presentation! thank you again for this demonstration.
Peter thanks for comments and question. Side Whisk is not alowed in Basic Syllabus of Viennese Waltz. Although I think it's esiest way to dance on social level. After that one can learn also Reverse Turn and dance regular Viennese Waltz Syllabus Routine with Natural Turn, Reverse Turn and Change Steps.
Lovely! Thank you for starting me on my way ...
Anthony, welcome! glad you find our video helpful!

Rizz you're so welcome!
i have a dance final in 6 days. 🙏
This is a great video, very clear and helpful! I do have a quick question, is this International or American Smooth?
+32ANB, this is International Style although Side Whisks I included for teaching purposes for beginners. Egils
Fenomenalno.!!!
Good instructor! Clear instructions
I love your videos! Thanks so much!
Stella thanks, you’re very welcome!
Question re the steps: My mother (who was Viennese) taught me the waltz when I was a child. However, the steps were 'apart, together, together' even when turning, as opposed to what I see here (and in other videos) 'apart, apart together' when turning. Am I remembering incorrectly, or was what I learned just a variation? Thank you.
Very interesting question. I think in version ‘apart, together, together’ dancer who goes forward does first together as “slightly apart”. Dancer who goes bak dances real first together. Generally this is very rotary version with very little progression.
Our version is with progression and swing (not just rotation).
@@EgilsSmagris That would make sense. We just went around and around in circles in our living room.
Thank you so much
+lan nguyen 👍
very good lesson//
Beautiful
Thank you so much for posting this! Do you have a tip to help you and your partner stay hip on hip?
mathman0, thanks for your question. Offset position of one partner in relation to other (right front to right front) you can control by correct arm position, especially Man's right arn. Contact in hips is secured by partner who is moving forward, because forward movement for humans are stronger than backward. Hope it helps.
Buy some velcro and attach it to two belts. You wear one and your partner the other. Then velcro your self together when you dance, You can buy two ready made belts on line. They have a demonstration of the belts on you tube but I can't find it. When I do I will send you the link.
Is Viennese waltz opposite box or regular waltz
Bella thanks for your question. In Viennese Waltz we have both Natural and Reverse Turns. I suggest start learning with Natural Box and Turn.
EXCELLENT
very helpful! thank you so much

This was very helpful video. How can I send you money? I like how good that woman is at following.
Great ! So Beautiful ~
Thanks, you are very welcome!
Good evening. I like very much your youtub lessons.
I have two questions particurally on vienne waltz : (1) how can we resolve to not getting Dizzy? People say ’Don’t look at down’. Could you give me another advise? (2) Is there a technique of breath for avoiding short of breath?
When you have time, pleade kindly reply. Thank you.
Yumi (from France)
1) When you get dizzy change direction of your rotation or better change rotation before you get dizzy. Also you can try to fix eye to one point (direction) for almost one bar.
When you dance forward look in line of dance,
when you dance backward look against line of dance.
2) Breath can be "sinchronized" with your movement, then it works better.
There is no one correct way to do that.
Also when you get tired your breathing will change.
@@EgilsSmagris Dear Egils, Thanks for your quick advise! We will try that. Regarding to short- breath, it seems better breathing with nose than with mouse opened. Right??? Yumi
@@dupota1478 Yes, I would suggest breathing though nose if possible.
@@EgilsSmagris Thank you very much!!
merci très très bien expliqué .verry good !!!
Thanks Philippe!
priceless!
Crystal clear!
Thanks Glenn!

My partner has trouble when I transition from the natural turns to the side steps. She does not get the signal I send so she oftentimes continue with the natural turn while I stop and try the side step, hence she loses her balance. What signal can I give her without talking of course?
My suggestion is to manage amount of body turn on previous bar so that on count 1 body moves to side almost without turn (then it's obviously side step). If on 1 body moves forward or backward then it's natural turn.
Does the dance start with man"s left foot or man"s right foot?
It depends. Natural Turn Man starts with right foot forward. In order to start with left foot I suggest to do preparation step diagonally back (123), then change direction of movement forward and dance Natural Turn.
Mr Smagris, Thank you for your instructional video. My question is about the proper use of the side steps on a fast moving dance floor. How does the leader initiate the side step in a way that does not present an obstacle to other dance pairs coming fast from behind?
+tone4days, thanks for good question. Side steps are for beginners, more for teaching purposes so that couples who even do not know yet how to dance Reverse Turn still can dance. On other hand it's possible to use almost stationary movements near corners and it shouldn't be as obstacle in a way of other couples. Hope it helps. Egils
Ah, I see. Thank you!
Thkq👍
Thank you . You are a good teacher ! How can I do if I want to buy your complete DVD if I was in VietNam ?
Quanghai, thanks for your interest and appreciation of our dance videos. We do not have DVD, so please use our youtube channel to watch dance tutorials. Egils
Hi Egils, I absolutely love the Viennese Waltz! It is a ton of fun. I tend to bounce every once in a while due to the fast pacing. Are there any exercises I can do to eliminate the bounce? What advice would you give for this?
Hi Emily thanks for good question. I suggest to rise less when you close your feet, both in feet and knees. Feeling should be almost like you dancing Chasse. Also footwork in 3rd step when you closing feet is Flat Foot (not Toe - Heel). On 6th Step is Toe - Heel but no to high. Hope it helps. Egils
Egils Smagris Ah, I see. Thank you so much!
I’ve been trying so hard, but i don’t understand how you do the closed change to change direction, when dancing across the room! Could someone please explain the footwork?
Here is description what we dance 07:39
Hope it helps:
1) Do 4 Natural Turns (Man starts with Right Foot: fwd, back, forward, back; Lady starts with Left Foot: back, forward, back, forward)
2) Then dance Change Step forward (Man starts with Right Foot forward; Lady Starts with Left Foot back)
3) Continue with 2 Reverse Turns (Man starts with Left Foot: forward, back; Lady starts with Right Foot: back, fwd).
4) Then dance Change Step forward (Man starts with Left Foot forward; Lady Starts with Right Foot back)
Egils Smagris thank you so much for the quick response! I really need help as i am going to an austrian ball next saturday 😄 I love your videos!! Keep ‘em comin!
Hi, great video! How do you signal to your partner that you will start a reverse turn?
Hi Milos, thanks for important question. Before Reverse Turn usually is closed change. Lead closed change by doing less rotation to right. In Reverse Turn you rotate to left.
@@EgilsSmagris Thank you very much.
Hi: Thanks for the instructional video; I'm just learning. I'm trying to find the exact music on music sites but can't seem to locate it. I believe that you have a spelling error > s/b > Tchaikovsky
Yes there may be misspelling, but here is link you can find this Waltz incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?collection=8&page=2
Beautiful, but i have a rehearsal wedding in 60 minutes-----
Why does he start with right foot? All my classes start with left
Thanks for your question! If we dance natural turn (turn to right) Man starts with right foot forward. If we dance reverse turn (turn to left) then Man starts with left foot forward. We need to learn both turns. I teach natural turn first, because it’s easier for beginners. Hope this helps!
Dear Egils, could you please give a word of advise - what shall I do in order to minimize "jumping" on the 3d and 6th steps of the turn. That's a real menace for me - I always jumping/hopping when I close my feet during turns.
Also, what can you tell about rise and fall and body sway in VW?? I often see an incredible amount of sway when I watch top-tier couples performing VW, but at the same time I've been taught that unlike slow waltz, VW shall be rather flat
Thanks for you questions. About "jumping" on 3 and 6 of Natural Turn try not to rise with feet to high (heels closer to floor) on 3 and not rise in feet at all on 6 (technically footwork of step 6 is flat foot). Closing feet should feel similar to chasse action. It's quite different feeling compered to Slow Waltz. In this sense Viennese Waltz should feel flat.
About Sway - you can try to change classic pattern of Sway from SRR SLL to LSR RSL. Then body will produce more rolling type of movement which is populat today in competitive dancing.
Hope you find this somehow helpful.
Thank you so much! I'll try to work on it.
👍
While the dancing looks so elegant, I wish you would break it down to stages with steps so that we can practice step by step. For instance, in PP and chasse it would be better if you could explain such as after closed change put left foot forward, take right foot to the side , then place left foot behind so that you are in PP and can go on to the chasse. I found your workshop vide explanations though they seemed to be for dance teachers. The other instructions seem a bit to fast to follow. Thanks
Hi, Sandeep Bagchee, thanks for your suggestions! Workshop videos can be helpful for both teachers and beginners. Egils
But i have a question is natural box and reverse box is the same thing with natural turn and reverse turn?
Amount of Turn differs. In Box we turn 1/4 turn (90 degrees) per bar. In Natural and Reverse Turn we turn 1/2 (180 degrees) per bar.
So the turn is the only difference? Not the steps
Yes steps are same. For learning purposes for beginners sometimes we can exclude cross in reverse box.
Omg thanks because i got a little confused about those things😩😂
@@Lia-ze4dq that’s ok 😉
OK so when it is only me I can do that but with a partner... let's hope I won't step on his foot lol
Well well. Welcome to episode 129 of where my boredom and obsession with dark academia has got me
Is it possible to add these steps to the Sound of Music song “Grand Waltz” ? I want to waltz to this song but i almost think it’s too fast :/ I thought the Viennese waltz would fit it. Any suggestions for how to waltz to the song “grand waltz”? Please 🙏🏼
Grand Waltz from Sound of Music is in right tempo. Start dancing with very small steps to fit music. Later you will adjust and increase length of movement. Hope it helps!
@@EgilsSmagris thanks so much for the tips!
Can you tell what music is that ?
Waltz Tschikovsky Op 40 by Kevin MacLeod
0:28
Hhhhhhhhhh she is really funny the lady d3ncing
I wanted slower moves
For slower moves I would suggest slow waltz
when your last name is a famous dance
i fell down
Please reply to me on Facebook, love you so much (kiss)
Is it Latvia dancing in the Viennese waltz steps to the side + behind the cross? Never in viener valz has anyone danced like this in the whole world 👀🙄👎 in wiener valz the transition steps are Front + side + together and not behind cross
Thanks for your comment. This side movement (used in social dancing) is for beginners who know only Natural Turn. After learning Reverse Turn we dance classical closed changes.
The steps are explained a wee bit too fast for a beginning lesson. Just my humble opinion.
Thanks Hamish for your feedback. I encourage you to watch video few times more and with pausing, it might be helpful.
