Valse (French dance)

The Valse, commonly known as the Waltz, is a graceful social dance characterized by its smooth, flowing movements and a three-beat rhythm. Originating in the late 18th century in Austria and Germany, it gained popularity across Europe, especially in ballrooms. Dancers typically move in a rotating pattern, holding each other closely while executing turns and elegant steps. The Valse is often associated with romantic music, making it a favorite at formal events, weddings, and dance competitions. Its timeless appeal lies in its simplicity and beauty, allowing dancers to express both emotion and connection through movement.
