Niveau:
Intermediate waltz
Choreographers note:- Ideally suited for the Advanced Beginner dancer moving up to Intermediate Level.
Within the Waltz, the first step is usually the ‘strongest’. On Wall 6 the music will appear to slow as the first 24 in
performed in French with the last 24 in English –there is no change within the dance tempo.
This dance (minus the Restart) can be used with almost any medium to fast waltz tempo.
