think when your doing it..
brush up up coupe down step
thats how my teacher taught it to me
when saying it in your head it helps you memorize the waltz pattern

If you focus on the rhythm first, that should help. Figure out the waltz rhythm. Then you need to figure out what counts you're up on, and what counts you're down on. Is it up-up-down or down-up-up? (I know the answer, do you?) Then you need to imagine what the over-all appearance is supposed to be. Listen to the music. Once you figure out the feel, it should help you. But get the steps down first.

I love the waltz turn - it's very delicate. Like the other answer says, focus on your beat. The rhythm is part of the delicacy.

Just say this over & over in your head while your doing it: "Brush step step, Brush step step" to the rythym of the music. Be sure to brush distinctly through a lovely first position and then hop up on your toes makeing two small steps, when you turn make it blend with each movement and don't lose your balance! It's like your floating.

Its lovely, down up up, down up up. Its the basic step behind balance. Its a brush to the side, ending in plie with the free foot in coupe. You can also make it a travelling step by turning en d'hors on the second turn.

Woahh. im 12 :P But i learned it when I was like around 11. It was easy just Keep practising and Try to look at some videos on youtube On how to do the waltz and keep practising when you go get a drink or your on your way to the washroom just do it across the floor.
