A Basic Waltz Pattern
Dive into the elegant world of Waltz with our easy-to-follow dance tutorial! Whether you're a beginner looking to learn the basics or an experienced dancer wanting to polish your skills, this video is perfect for you. In this lesson, we break down a basic Waltz pattern, demonstrating each step in detail to ensure you can glide across the dance floor with grace and confidence.
*What You'll Learn:*
*Left Foot Change Step:* Begin with the foundational left foot change step, a critical move for setting the pace.
*Quarter Turn to the Right:* Master the first three steps of a natural turn, slightly underturned, to gracefully turn to the right.
*Back Left Foot Change Step:* Follow up with a back left foot change to maintain smooth flow and balance.
*Quarter Turn to the Left:* Complete the sequence with steps 4-6 of a slightly underturned reverse turn, bringing you elegantly to the left.
This sequence can then be repeated to fill any length of room.
At a corner then you can use the *Left Foot Change Step* and *Back Quarter Turn* sequence from our previous lesson ( • Beginner Waltz Back Qu... ) to change direction and continue dancing.
