Advanced Beginner Viennese Waltz
Walzer (German for "waltz" is danced at about 180 BPM) & refers to the original dance, not the English or Slow Waltz.
Wiener Walzer (Viennese Waltz) was danced before the English Waltz, which it was the first ballroom dance performed in closed hold or "waltz" position.
Now, English or Slow Waltz is meant, when speaking of waltz (90 beats BPM). Germany, Austria, France, Scandinavia & other countries where ballroom is popular still think of Viennese Waltz when referring to waltz.
