" the world's first "forbidden dance.""
Waltz: Derived from the German word "waltzen," = "to turn."
Country of origin: Austria and Bavaria as a peasant dance in Austria.
It reached to the young people of Viennese dance halls in late eighteenth century. As the dance

Gradually the dance and accompanying music modified to present form.
