i' am sorry to say that i went home that quickly without saying good bye to you. so i'll do now.
we could not finish our waltz vienna, its a pity, because, for me as one who "loves" classical dancing, there is nothing more i appreciate than someone who is willing to learn things i live that passionately..
so, if you have the chance, learn it - even if you are back in your country and 70 years old.
and for the case you won't or can't, let me try to give you in words what i wanted to give you in real with the waltz,..
if you dance waltz (vienna), its a clockwise rotation in 3/4 beat. 6 steps for one turnaround. the first 3 steps, men give the impulse, the next 3 steps women do. it is as if you are helping each other moving. again and again.
you hold the hands of your partner with attitude. with the right pressure. not too weak, saying dont worry about the speed, i hold you. - not too strong, saying you are free.
you dont stare to your partner, and you dont stare to the environment. you have both things in your visual field and mind. and you also put yourself into your awareness.
dancing is dancing if its like flying away knowing you cannot fall down.
you dont talk. both are listening to the music and reading the partner's body language, to understand whats your opposite is saying to you;
some say, i like dancing with you. others say, i do it like many others things too: without any special background meaning. some say i love you. some stay silent. some even don't think.
waltz is not waltz if you dont have the right partner. waltz is waltz if you can love your partner only for the way he is moving, leading you, listening to you, and for the way he gives you attention.
again: you dont stare to each other while dancing. you only catch a glimpse; you know he is here, this is enough (attention)
at the end, you have a look into the eyes of your partner -men are allowed to kiss women's hands.
there are also so many ways of doing so: some do it like little children, some too fast, some too slow, some that way that women dont like it, they dribble. but some learned to do it the right way. the kiss your hand as if the were kissing you for the dance.
