Abstract


Waltz, which is one of the earliest social dances in Europe, was also named Round Dance. For a long time after it began ,Waltz was criticized for its special style - two people dancing closely together in each others’ arms. But this special style and dance position turned into the primary one for social dance in Europe after the 19th century. The other special element of Waltz is the constant rotating and revolving motion of the dance couple. Although there have been many changes in the Waltz’ form, steps, speed and even music, its central element - the couple’s rotation in a closed embrace - has never really changed,By the late 18th century and the beginning of 19th, Waltz had matured and taken form. Its cradles were in France, Germany and Austria - especially in Vienna, a city that became famous as "the city of Waltz" and where famous musicians known as "the father of Waltz" and "the king of Waltz" were also born and it’s boundless sea of forest.The earliest origins of the Waltz can perhaps be found in 12th century Province de France, where it was originally named La Volta. But it also has its roots in Germany, Landel, Allemande, Weller and Drehtanz. Langaus, which was the name given to the classic style of Waltz by people of the Danube Valley, was also an ancestor of modern Waltz.All these traditions made Waltz the most popular social dance in Europe. Moreover, it crossed the ocean and spread to America and Asia. Of course in this process it has changed even more. English style Waltz, which is slower and emphasizes beautiful posture, was formed on the base of Boston Waltz, which was created by Americans. The classic fast style of Waltz was preserved in Vienna in the middle of Europe.Looking at its long history and its worldwide progress and development we may consider that the roots of the Waltz’ success lie in the naturalness of its movement and artistry.
