I learned ballroom dancing in Vienna, where I lived at the time, and the VW would always be the final dance of the night. Oddly enough, most Viennese prefer the "English Langsamer (Slow) Waltz" (as they call it). I always had trouble with that change step from the reverse turn to the natural turn.
Ballroom dancing is more than just dancing it's an art form, you have to pair elegance with ballroom dancing. That's why it's so aesthetically pleasing to watch.
I can tell you, dancing the Viennese Waltz is tiring but really good for your condition. You really feel like a swan and if the man leads well, it can look really beautiful :D. I once scored an 8.5 for VW, I loved it! :D

georgewu5: Thank you so much for taking this time and posting the sketch. I will try to make sense of it if I can...(I wonder if it is possible to print it out somehow...) It is definitely not an easy step, and reading your first response to my question I am already amazed! God bless you for dancing at this age! Keep it up :)
Perfect dancing and with out question very beautiful! I love Marcus and Karen.. I would like to know the name of this viennese waltz? I anybody know, please share. Thanks btw. why do people call the first figure "fleckerl"? My dance-mates call it "flecker" too... I believe the right name for the figure is "fleckroll" :) But anyway, it a difficult figure to do :) but Karen and Marcus are executing it extremely well :)
for Viennese waltzes, aren't they supposed to be standing far apart? because i read that when the Viennese waltz was invented, it was for military people and they had to stand far apart because of the buttons and pins on their jacket. Or can someone correct me?
Is it possible to know the technique of the steps and footwork in the beginning of this video's sequence? In particular, the fleck roll? Would anybody know? Thank you very much.
I have to say that I am a little confused. I thought the leader's left foot was supposed to pass his right on the progressive turn. I dont see it here.
@12DeleteYourself A Viennese waltz is much faster, with less variation. A Viennese waltz is all turning around, as you see in the video, whereas an English waltz is very slow with a lot of steps rather then turning around. Click the video that's titled 'Waltz' in the list and you'll see.
@12DeleteYourself You're welcome. I just saw that the other video I mentioned, is also a lot of turning round. XD Professionals. But what I said is still true, haha.
I doubt they've been dancing for longer than about a year, personally l wouldn't go as far as saying he sucks, but the point still stands, the pair of them have trained for hours non stop, which is paying off, but it's the subtlety they lack. I think that can still come with time...
This is a VERY AVERAGE, not top Viennese waltz. Marcus stiff, although to his credit he is on time. It is very easy to see that today's world champions, Arunas and Katusha, are ten planets higher in Viennese waltz (see Arunas' and Katusha's FANTASTIC Autumn classic Viennese waltz 2016). Also, today's British (closed) champions, Andrea and Sara, are VERY much better than Marcus and Karen in this dance. (Marcus and Karen, however, are FANTASTIC in Tango, quickstep, and often waltz.)
Very nice - the music and the dance!

I just needed a clip of Viennese waltz and this was perfect. Bless your soul.

@joshdance but it looks so impersonal. like she's looking away from her partner.
happyness

flyiny just as i9n the krakowiak and mazur...
Me and my partner couldn't have a direction.. really, we were dancing in a circle O.O
she's hiding or running away from a kiss :))
what's the difference between viennese and regular waltz?
I am quite sure this is NOT a Johann Strauss composition !
must...learn...to do...this!!!!
@bethbas practice my dear, practice...
@12DeleteYourself You're welcome. I just saw that the other video I mentioned, is also a lot of turning round. XD Professionals. But what I said is still true, haha.
@Artemisss1 thanks :)

@piva900
People with out taste - just ignore them :)

i never understood why the female's head has to be positioned like that. so stiff. it looks awkward to me.
