"Вальс – the king of dance", considered for many years. However, the waltz wasn"t always so impeccable reputation. For many years it was considered dubious, vulgar and even indecent dance, And it took more than a decade, public opinion has softened.

- Word" вальс" came from old German walzen – to be turned, to spin, to slide. He really was born in a peasant environment: many centuries ago, when the courtiers danced a much more sedate dances, in the Austrian and Bavarian villages in full whirl in a waltz, and in many ancient melodies can be noticed waltz motives.

Then, however, the slow waltz is back in fashion thanks to the American" вальсу Boston" @ - a slow dance with smooth movements.
