How to do the Waltz?

Waltz is danced to a triple beat. First get into position by facing your partner again on the first beat, step forward gracefully with your left foot and on the second beat, step forward and to the right with your right foot then shift your weight to your right foot and keep your left foot stationary again on the third beat, slide your left foot over to your right and stand with your feet together also on the fourth beat, step back with your right foot and on the fifth beat, step back and to the left with your left foot, this time tracing a backward L then shift your weight to your left foot again on the final beat, slide your right foot toward your left until your feet are together; now you're ready to start over with your left foot finally repeat steps 2 through 8 turning your and your partner's orientation slowly to the left by slightly varying the placement of your feet.

To do the waltz, the man offers his left hand to the lady as he stands putting weight on his right foot. The lady then approaches the man, giving him her right hand and takes position to the left of the man. Full body contact is necessary. The lady rests her left arm on the man's upper arm while he places his right on the lady's shoulder blade. Movement then begin at a slow pace.
