One of the most beautiful and romantic dances, is included into the West European program of sports ballroom dances. Muses. size 3/4, rate of 56-60 t/min. (168-180 beats/min). In the XIX century I won popularity across all Europe. (See Waltz).
While the British prefer the romantic name of this dance is the Viennese waltz, also known as a quick waltz, that is fast. Despite its venerable age, the waltz retained its appeal and always has passionate fans. The name "Viennese waltz" — conditional. Waltz was born in Vienna during the Johann Strauss, and in Italy in the Renaissance, where it was called "volt". With the Peninsula volt migrated to France, and its success at the French court was stunning. All the courtiers enthusiastically danced in a circle.Soon, however, to the French throne Louis XIII, who was shocked by the style of the new dance and veto it.
Banned in France, Volta crosses, travels around Europe and, eventually, becomes a waltz. Dance gets rid of some of the movements and takes the form that is known today. Waltz returned to France only in the nineteenth century, and again had the same resounding success as in his time volt. The creators of the enchanting melodies of the waltz was the father and son of Strauss, lehár, Waldteuffel, and other great composers, including Schubert, Chopin, Berlioz, Tchaikovsky, Sibelius, Weber, Ravel.
Though the waltz made huge success and made the real furor at many yards of Europe, at the beginning of the XIX century the official relation to a waltz was very careful. At balls in Vienna no more than 10 minutes were allowed to dance a waltz - embraces of the gentleman and the lady in dance were considered as the unseemly. But no ban could stop spinning of a waltz on ball and concert halls of Europe. Since 1815, after a victory over Napoleon in Vienna at all balls selflessly danced a waltz - bewitching, magic, brilliant.
Vienna became history as the city where the waltz blossomed. The Vienna composers and conductors Lanner, Johann Strauss father and even more well-known Johann Strauss son who wrote masterpieces "On beautiful Blue Danube" and "Fairy tales of the Vienna wood", promoted formation of the Vienna waltz, and also that in the XIX century this dance eclipsed all others. Strauss's music improved and improved waltz choreography. Thanks to it dance began to be executed more gracefully, it is more beautiful and it is trembling.
In the gardens of Vienna there is a monument to Johann Strauss. Near it there is a small platform, on it Strauss with the chapel once acted. And today each summer evening from this platform melodies of waltzes under which sounds the public of the gardens dances are distributed. And only when there comes the turn of a waltz "On beautiful blue Danube" the conductor appeals not to dance: it is considered that it is necessary to listen to this melody which became the Austrian national shrine only reverentially...
Waltz, having become official ball dance, ideally I was in harmony and with fashion of that time: tight dresses in a waist with magnificent magnificent skirts emphasized beauty of movements of the lady.
