[edit] Dleted section
- -- Dance form --
- A typical waltz figure (from the man's perspective) starts lowered into the knees and travelling forward with a strong heel lead. Count 2 rises and is taken on the ball of the foot, and count 3 starts on the ball of the foot and lowers to the heel as the couple begins to lower in preparation for the next measure. A smooth rise-and-fall action is a primary characteristic of this dance.
The one who copied it here obviously does not know that there are numerous waltzes danced in a totally different way. mikka (t) 08:09, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
