How to Perform the Hesitation Waltz

  • Step 1:
    Start by counting the beats of the music. Traditional waltzes feature a one-two-three, four-five-six pattern.
  • Step 2:

  • Step 3:
    When pausing, one foot should be in the air while the other is used to maintain balance.
  • Step 4:
    Move the foot that's in the air slowly to position it for the next move.
  • Step 5:
    Maintain a steady rhythm throughout and count the beats to make sure you're in the correct position at all times.

Tips & Warnings

  • Dancing with an experienced partner is a great way to master this waltz quickly.
