Learning The Waltz
The box step is the basic step that couples learning the waltz need to learn. It’s not that difficult, but will require some practice for the less than coordinated man or woman. The partners face each other. The man takes a forward step with the left foot simultaneously as the woman takes a step backward with the left foot. The man takes a step right, the woman takes a step to the left. The man closes the left foot beside the right foot and the woman does the same with the opposite foot. This completes the first half of the box step. Next, the man steps back with the right foot, and the woman takes a forward step with the left. He takes a side step backwards with the left foot, and the woman takes a step forward sideways with the right foot. The man then closes the
right foot beside the left foot, and the woman closes the left foot beside the right foot.
