English Waltz - a short history of the dance
Source: https://dancehistory.trueillusion.bg/...
Timing: 3/4. Beat: 28-30 measures per minute. Count: "1 - 2 - 3" (with an accent on "1").

Danced competitively since: 1923-1924.

It originated from the dances of several different peoples in Europe but its main predecessors were the "Matenick" and a variation called the "Furiant" that were performed during rural festivals in the Czech Republic. The French dance, the "Walt", and the Austrian "Lindler" are the most similar to the waltz among its predecessors.
The king of dances acquired different national traits in different countries. Thus there appeared the English Waltz, the Hungarian Waltz, and the Waltz-Mazurka.
The "Waltz" is derived from the old German word "walzen" meaning "to roll, turn", or "to glide". Nowadays the dance has three main forms:

The Ballroom waltz (a slow dance with measured steps that moves around the room in a controlled fashion with lots of figures)
The Viennese Waltz (a fast dance with lots of turning, the feet positions are based on ballet though for a correct Viennese Waltz);
The Folk Waltz (what most people know as waltz, and can be done to various speeds of music). The Waltz was born out of dances such as the Weller, the Contradanse and the Volta. These three dances were popular in the 16th century and were danced as folk dances. The Volta even involved physically lifting the lady off her feet with the gentleman's thigh in order to turn her!

The first waltz as we would recognise it came out of the suburbs of Vienna in the early 17th century, and were played in the ballrooms of the Hapsburg court. It was still danced with an open hold though.

However popular the waltz, opposition was not lacking. Dancing masters saw the waltz as a threat to the profession. The basic steps of the waltz could be learned in relatively short time, whereas, the minuet and other court dances required considerable practice, not only to learn the many complex figures, but also to develop suitable postures and deportment.

During the 18th century, the allemande form of the waltz became very popular in France. Originally danced as one of the figures in the contredanse, with arms inter-twining at the shoulder level, it soon evolved into an independent dance and the close-hold position was introduced. This was the first time that the close hold or ballroom hold was used in a dance, and it was utterly scandalous that such a thing as the gent placing his hand around the ladies waist should be allowed.
The waltz was also criticized on moral grounds by those opposed to its close hold and rapid turning movements. Religious leaders almost unanimously regarded it as vulgar and sinful.
