Viennese Waltz
A form of Viennese waltz originally came from Bavaria and was danced by the peasantry as early as 1780.Its chief characteristic was the continuous and swift rotations and turning figures danced by the couple. This was the dance that arrived in Vienna and came into its own in the 19th century with the "quick-time" Strauss waltzes. The dance now became known as the "Viennese Waltz" and was danced by everyone, not only the peasantry - in the major cities of Europe and North America. In 1833, a "good behavior" book was published by Miss Celbart and according to it, although it was allowed for married ladies to perform this dance, she called it "a dance of too loose character for maidens to perform".
