19th century ballroom dance
A waltz of two pasts was not as popular and durable as a classic waltz of three pasts — probably because it did not require much dance art [1] . In the 20th century, a waltz of three pasts was called the Viennese waltz , but the original Viennese waltz is exactly the waltz of two pas [1] .
Contemporary Dance
In sports ballroom dancing , a two-step waltz is a simplified version of modern Viennese and slow waltzes. Unlike these dances, it is performed not by three steps for each 3/4 cycle, but by two, with the first step taking the first beat of the beat, and the second step - the remaining 2: the partner begins to move his face during the dance: the first beat is performed with heel with an arbitrary angle of rotation, for the remaining beats of tact, the free leg is pulled to itself. After that, the whole combination is performed on the other leg, starting from a step back.
