Waltz music, typically composed in 3/4 time, has a lilting, flowing quality, with composers such as Johann Strauss II creating some of the most famous waltz pieces, like The Blue Danube. The waltz remains a symbol of elegance and tradition in both competitive dance and social settings. Learn to dance the waltz today!
