Care to Waltz?
Ever wanted to learn cross-step waltz? Here’s your chance. No fees. No registration.
Imagine you and your partner figure skating upon the ballroom floor. We call it Cross-Step Waltz.
You have seen couples dancing cross-step waltz variations and you’d like to try it, too. Just arrive an hour or a half-hour or so before evening contra dances. That’s all you need to do. You will:
- Learn what sets cross-step waltz so apart from other waltz forms.
- Easy solo cross-step floor patterns for practice at home or anywhere.
- Dance in fractals, the fundamental repeating patterns of the natural world.
- Improve your posture, balance and vitality—and never get dizzy again.
