Background info on the waltz, Faven could do that. She had spent many afternoons with her aunt, talking about her dancing days. "The walz is the oldest of the ballroom dances, dating back to around the 18th century. It was the first dance where the couple danced in a modified Closed position- with the man's hand around the waist of the lady. Two Austrian composers, Lanner and Strauss, set the standard for the Viennese Waltz, a fast tempo waltz. Around the later part of the 19th century, waltzes were being written to a slower tempo then the original Viennese, sir." Faven answered him. Oh please let me be right! I am almost positive that my aunt told me this....please oh please oh plleaaaase!
