The Waltz

The Waltz is an Alpine Dance. It is a smoothly turning travelling couple dance.
The Zwiefache and the Hambo (Deutscher Dreher, Dreischritt Dreher) are the closest relatives of the Waltz.
The Schottische, Snoa, and Polka are also very similar.
The word "walzen" means to roll, i.e. to travel while turning perfectly smoothly.

In Toronto there is:

Simon's Mostly Waltz (some Fridays)

Blue Danube Sunday Tea Dance (Sunday 5-9, Waltzes and more -- not in Summer -- resumes Sep 19)

Alpine Dancing (Free dancing in the park during the Summer)
