Waltz Steps for Men in Ballroom Dancing for Beginners
This is Emily Johnson on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this clip, we will be talking about the man’s waltz basic. The man’s waltz basic consists of your walking steps and your side steps. The man from a starting position always starts with his left foot, so the waltz basic the man’s part starting with the left foot is one step forward with the left foot, making sure you take a heel lead, one step to the side with the right foot, bringing your feet together and changing weight with the left foot, making sure that the right foot is free with the second half of the waltz basic. The right foot on the second half goes back in a rocking step. The left foot goes to the side in a sidestep completing the side step by bringing your feet together and changing weight. So once again, the man’s waltz basic is staring with your left foot forward is rock, side, together and change weight, walking back, side, together and change weight. Once again, it is forward with the left foot and side with the right, left together and change weight and back with the right foot, side with the left, bring your feet together and changing weight. Let us look that from the side. Man starts forward with his left foot making sure he takes a heel lead, meaning of course that is the heel goes down first, forward with the left, side with the right, together with the left and changing weight, back with the right, side with the left, together with the right and changing weight, so it is rock, side step, rock, side step, heel full forward side step, toe back, sidestep, heel, sidestep, toe, and sidestep. One more angle starting forward with your left, man starting forward side step, back with the right side step, forward with the left side step, back with the right side step and that is your man’s waltz basic.
