PATTERNS AND ROUTINES FOR AMERICAN AND INTERNATIONAL VIENNESE WALTZ

-Copyright Jonathan Tyrone Rowell, 2003

Notes: Both American and Viennese Waltzes are extremely fast in tempo.  As a 
consequence, there are very few figures in the syllabi, particularly the 
international syllabus which does not permit opening away from the partner in 
Standard.


Bronze
1) Basic Left Turn - like Samba Reverse Turn.  LF crosses in front of RF on 
  measures where LF starts fwd.  repeatable, unlike slow Waltz left turns.  No 
  rise and fall nor sway.
2) Left Hesitation Turn
3) Basic Right Turn - as normal slow Waltz right turn, but extra rotation before 
  first step and after last step allow figure to be repeated.  Now rise and 
  fall, but there is sway.
