Terry Dean: Hello! My name is Terry Dean from Terry Deans Dance Studio. So, glad you can join us.
Today, we are going to be teaching you the waltz. The waltz is the most beautiful of all dances. I have been lucky to be teaching ballroom dance for 30 years. I have taught hundreds of people how to dance the waltz. The pleasure that they have gained as hundreds and thousands of hours of beautiful ballroom dancing and I think you will enjoy it as well.
Main thing to remember is, in the waltz you have to dress elegantly. The waltz is an elegant beautiful dance. So, the costuming and the way you hold yourself and posture is most important.
Remember, dancing is mainly physical, so you always have to be prepared by stretching your body, training your body; so that your body is able to do all of the different ballroom dancing moves that you are going to be learning. They are all pretty simple, but you do need to train your body.
The first thing that we are going to do is we are going to train you with the basic components of waltz. So, let us begin with the basic components of waltz.

Terry, thank you for providing such a clear explanation of the waltz. I'm really excited that I'll be able to understand it now. I hope you do other dances as well. As a musician, I find that it really helps to know the dance steps, so this is very valuable. Off I go to see what other dances you have featured. ~Cynthia Cathcart
