Position:Home>Dancing> Basic Waltz steps?


Question:I'm not a dance teacher but I've taken a lot of Waltz classes and my neighbor has asked me to teach him the Waltz. Now, I'm a lady so I don't know the man's steps well. Can someone list the men's steps of some basic waltz steps? I've already covered the balance step, box, turning box and underarm turn. Thanks! :)

I hope this helps!

Closed changes L and R
Natural turn
Reverse turn
Simple twinkle

Those should be good for a start. I assume you are talking American style here....
