Fun fact: The term Slow Waltz, English Waltz, American Smooth or simply Waltz is used to differentiate from the Viennese Waltz, which is danced using only turns & “change steps” (switch directions) at a faster speed with different footwork. In those countries that dance the Viennese Waltz, the slower waltz is referred to as the English Waltz. When waltz is danced at a wedding in non-Viennese Waltz countries, it is often danced very slow, more romantic than ballroom. Source: a dance instructor
