The following video clip shows Marcus & Karen Hilton MBE an excellent basic slow Waltz. They are the 9 time professional international standard world champions and were also once 10-dance world champions. Dancing like this does not need to be choreographed - this is all danced using a lead/ follow technique. It would take a while to learn to dance like this, but it would not be necessary to have a regular partner to dance like this.

In the clip below, the Hiltons break down many of the above moves explaining each in great detail - (this clip lasts for over 1hr 20mins).

Here are the Hiltons again in the clip below. To perform a show like this needs to be choreographed because it would not be possible to use 100% lead/follow techniques.

The original Waltz music is fast, and the dance which began in Vienna, Austria would be called the Viennese Waltz - no surprise. The following video clip shows the Viennese Waltz danced beautifully. These are the only steps which people tend to dance socially & the only ones in the sylabus up to 3rd Gold Star medal (ISTD) (or Gold Bar IDTA).

The clip below show the Hiltons performing a fabulous choreographed Viennese Waltz which would not be possible to dance entirely using lead/follow technique alone.

The American Country Western Dancers also dance the Slow Waltz. The rhythm is still waltz, but the character has changed due to the music so the clothes match that genre.
