The waltz has its History rooted in a peasant dance from the Provence area of France in 1559, from a piece of folk music called The Volta. Partners had to hold each other in such a close embrace that many declared it immoral; Louis 13th (1601-1643) even had it banned from court on this account.
The footwork and steps should be kept very simple we should be able to see a slight swaying action from the couple - a musical lilt - a gentle rise and fall. Mimics riding on the crest of a wave - the movement's more on the progression we should see lots of rotation. Basic steps of the Waltz consist of natural and reverse turns and change steps.
