Eino had a sufficient amount knowledge on the waltz. His fencing instructor always compared fencing to dancing, and most specifically the waltz. Eino raised his hand. "The waltz actually began as a folk dance, from what I remember, in the 16th century." This he knew because he had a multitude of read books on Elizabethan England. Now he was glad he had, as other people put it, wasted his time on useless information. "It was often referred to as sliding or gliding, where a couple would hold each other very closely that their faces would touch. It used to be considered a wild and more upbeat dance for the people of the lower class, but the when it was introduced to the higher society it developed into a slower and more elegant dance." And this elegance was where his instructor always wanted him to use when he was fencing, but it was very difficult to remained poised while trying to avoid being poke. "It has continued to develop ever since finally into what we call the waltz today, which is a ballroom dance in triple meter, but has retained its element of closeness and intimacy." |
