Tel: 707.761.5214    Hours: Monday-Thursday 6-10pm and by appointment

Time Signature:  3/4 timing
Tempo:  Between 84-96 BPM for American and 84-90 BPM for International. 
Music Style:  Any music which uses 3/4 timing. The music tends to be smoother and softer styles. 

Character:  Long, smooth strides around the ballroom floor incorporating much more rise & fall than in other dances. Elements of contra-body movement, sway and continuity are also important.  It is a very graceful, beautiful and elegant dance.

Where you can use it:  Only where you find a 3/4 timing song being played. Even modern wedding songs are no longer Waltzes. The best place to find a Waltz is at a ballroom!
