👉 VIDEO SUMMARY:
The Waltz, one of the world's most popular dances, wasn't always considered as such.
Due to its close-hold and quick rotations, Waltz has once named the "Forbidden Dance."
Waltz is the oldest of the current ballroom dances.
First waltzes were danced in today's Germany and Austria, back in the 13th century.
The style was immediately picked up by other nations, who each created its own form and style of the dance.
The form we know today was born in the suburbs of Vienna and Austria's mountain regions.
During the 17th century, it was played and danced in ballrooms of the Habsburg court.
By the end of the eighteenth century, this once Austrian peasant dance had been accepted by the high class.
Waltz dance was popular, but it was not accepted throughout the nation.
Many dancing masters considered the Waltz as a threat to the profession.
Before the Waltz, people danced around each other with little or no contact at all.
As the dance started gaining popularity, it was criticized on moral grounds due to its close-hold stance and fast turning movements.
Religious leaders regarded it as vulgar and sinful. The dance was criticized to the point where people were threatened with death from waltzing.
Over time, established musicians began recognizing the quality and appeal of the Waltz.
Among them were Franz Schubert, Johann Strauss, Father, and the best-known waltz composer, the so-called "Waltz King" - Johann Strauss, Son.
The dance was getting more and more popular, causing the court to build numerous dance halls to accommodate the craze.
It established itself as a standard accompaniment for Vienna's noble events and is considered one of the most popular dance styles up until this day.
Even though Waltz was considered the root of all evil during the 17th and 18th centuries, it made its way to the elite and is now the most popular of all ballroom dances.
