Waltz Fun Facts.........

Waltz comes from the German word "waltzen," which means "to turn." It began with the peasants in early Austria, but their wide and vigorous steps became shorter and more elegant as the waltz made its way into higher society and around the world. Considered the first real "ballroom" dance, the waltz was initially deemed indecent in 17th Century European courts because it required dance partners to hold each other so closely, but the scandal only made the dance even more fashionable.
