P.S.
• Timeless Elegance: In an era where trends come and go, the Waltz remains a symbol of timeless elegance and sophistication. Mastering this classic dance opens the door to a world of grace and refinement, enriching your social interactions with an aura of charm and poise.
• Versatile Social Skill: Whether you’re attending a wedding, a party, or a formal ball, knowing how to dance the Waltz adds a touch of magic to any social occasion. Glide effortlessly across the dance floor, impressing friends and loved ones with your newfound skills and leaving a lasting impression wherever you go.
• Perfect Symmetry between Dancers: Among the ballroom dances commonly practiced today, the waltz is the only dance that moves quickly around the ballroom and which offers perfect symmetry between the steps of the leader and those of the follower… You will have the feeling of being one with each other! It is no coincidence that this dance is still a great symbol of love and romanticism today, as the cinema attests.
• Wide Variety of Music Styles: The Viennese waltz can be danced to music by Strauss and other similar composers as well as to many styles of modern music. What defines it is only a three-beat rhythm. As a result, you’re not locked into a single style of music, as is the case with other couple dances! Our sessions offer a delightful mix of music styles, ensuring every dance is a unique journey.
• Physical and Mental Well-being: Beyond its social benefits, dancing the Waltz offers a multitude of physical and mental health benefits. From improving cardiovascular fitness and coordination to reducing stress and boosting mood, the Waltz is not just a dance – it’s a holistic experience that nurtures both body and soul.
There will be a nice Ball in Paris on 8 June 2024: “Bal des Parisiennes – le Bal Viennois de Paris” (Viennese Ball of Paris). More details at www.baldesparisiennes.com
