美妙的华尔滋 (Waltz)

华尔滋分成许多不同的类型，各自拥有不同的华尔滋音乐。音乐可能有快有慢，但是他们的共同点是节奏全为固定的三拍。

学术派华尔滋(old-school waltz)是华尔滋的常规形式，即舞者不停地旋转，再加上转圈及轻快的踏步。这种华尔滋踩着缓慢、平滑及流畅的舞步 (您可以参见图标内的舞步轮廓)。另有一种墨西哥华尔滋 (Mexican waltz) ，它的移动速度较快。只要听过墨西哥华尔滋的音乐，您就能够想像舞者必须要动的多快，以追上音乐的节奏。

因为人们彼此竞争，正式舞蹈甚至演变成一种职业。您曾否看到正式的跳舞比赛？

There are lots of different kinds of waltzes, all performed to different types of waltz music. The music might be fast or slow but what they all have in common is a regular one-two-three, one-two-three rhythm.

The traditional form is the old-school waltz in which dancers turn all the time with a hopping, springy step. This waltz has a slow, smooth, gliding step. (You can see the steps outlined in this diagram.) There's also the Mexican waltz, which moves much faster. Listen to this Mexican waltz music and you can imagine how fast the dancers had to move to keep up with the music.

Formal dancing has even become a profession, with people entering competitions. Have you ever seen a formal dance competition?
