    Aaron: Hi guys, it's Aaron.
    Kristina: And I'm Kristina.
    Aaron: And we are professional dance instructors here in New York City, and today we're going to bringing you a series based on the waltz.
    Kristina: So the first step we're going to do is the box step which is like the most common foundational step for everything you're going to learn in the waltz. So just a couple of things really quickly. The waltz is a smooth dance, which means it travels around the room in a counter-clockwise direction, so if you're ever anywhere where there are people dancing, just kind of take note of the direction that they're going and make sure you join in and go that same direction.
    So we're going to start this pattern side by side. We're both going to begin with our left foot going forward. The girls just note that generally you will generally be starting this on your right foot going backward. So we're going to take our left foot. We have one step forward, one. Step to the side with your right foot, two. Close your left foot to your right foot, three. And then go ahead and take a step back on the right, side left, close right foot to left foot. So we have one, two, three, one two, three.
    And so a note for this, if you've ever seen waltz dancing, there is a rise and fall to this dance, so the downbeat is on one so we're going to call it, in its most basic terms, going forward, down, up, up, down, up, up. And that's just a really basic way to kind of get you familiar with the rise and fall of the waltz. You can kind of try to add that in. So let's dance this with a partner.
    So we're going to take our traditional dance hold, palm to palm, and then girls you're going to take your right hand and place it just below the shoulder. Gentlemen your left hand will be in her palm, right hand will be on her shoulder blade. So, another important note. When you set up, be slightly offset. So girls think about stepping slightly to the left. Guys, think about having her slightly to her right. That way you won't hit feet when you try to dance. So we have one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three. We can also take this basic step and we can rotate it to the left a little bit, so we'll show you that right now. And one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three. Now let's try that to some music.

      a room has four walls. when you start, face one of the walls. then rotate to a corner. then faces wall, then face a corner. It helps me “1,wall,3/ 1,corner,3/ 1,wall,3/ 1,corner,3/
      + remember a waltz is 3 beats not 4
      hope it helps :)

      Kudos for the video content! Apologies for chiming in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Miyyan Wenacob Bulldozer (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a good one off product for learning the rumba and other popular ballroom dances without the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my work buddy got excellent success with it.

    As feedback I am disappointed in this instruction approach. Why would both the woman and man instructor show the man's step in detail, and not show the woman's steps until dancing together. It's confusing (my opinion). I'm going to do a waltz with my daughter at her wedding, and I'm trying to find some instruction for her on a box step - and I am disappointed at the lack of decent video for the woman to learn from. You could have made this a good video by focusing on what the woman needs to know from her perspective rather than showing us the man's part with both of you doing the same thing. Once you start dancing together, the woman has to figure out what was never explained about her steps...

    • @shortishperson
      @shortishperson 8 років тому +29

      The woman and man do the same step. Both step forward on the left and both step back on the right. It's just that the man starts with stepping forward (left) and the woman starts with stepping back (right). When the man steps forward, the woman steps back, and when the man steps back, the woman is stepping forward. So there is no actual focus on the "lead's" step, because both steps are actually exactly the same. It's probably a little too late, but hope that help's any other's trying to learn.
