The origin of the waltz
The waltz originated in the late 18th century in the Austrian and German lands. Its origins lie in the rural folk dances, which in the course of time found their way into the courtly social dances.
The name "waltz" is derived from "walzen", which means "to turn". The characteristic turns and steps of the waltz give it its unique charm.
