  Slow waltz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Slow waltz is the term applied to waltz in countries where Viennese waltz is the form of waltz commonly practiced.
Slow Waltz was the name of a dance in the International Standard dance category of ballroom dances.
Now it is officially called simply "Waltz", but "Slow Waltz" is still in the informal use, to distinguish from other types of waltzes.

The rhythm "slow, slow, quick, quick" can be expressed in print as "xsxsqq" where a foot is put down on each "s" or "q", but not on each "x", and each letter x, s, or q represents a beat of the music.
In social dancing, waltzes are likely to be played at tempos ranging from the standard 30 bars per minute for competition slow waltz, up to the standard 60 bars per minute for competition Viennese waltz, and any tempo in between.
Even though international style Viennese waltz is one of the styles of waltz used in competition ballroom dancing at the highest level, it is the predominant style of waltz at the most elegant formal social balls.

 ANNUAL VIENNESE WALTZ BALLS
By the 1930's, among competition ballroom dancers, "waltz" came to mean the slow waltz, which evolved from the "Boston", and the fast waltz was renamed the Viennese Waltz, with reference to the city that originally made it famous.
The waltz was invented centuries ago when shoe soles and heels were leather, and floors were mostly bare, well worn, unfinished hardwood, and the dance floor friction was perfect for dancing.
In this sense, the Viennese Waltz is a gallop, not a trot, for the dancer.

The Waltz is the undisputed ‘Queen of the Ballroom’ and is the dance most people think of by name first when they think of ‘ballroom dancing’.
Various permutations on the waltz were developed in the United States at the time including ‘Hesitation Waltz’ (where one step was taken per bar), ‘Canter Waltz’(with two steps per bar) and ‘The Boston’ (one step per beat, at a slow tempo).
The Boston was characterized by its slow tempo, long flowing steps, and the use of the closed dance position eventually became the Slow Waltz that it is today.

 April 1st - Friday Night Waltz - tribe.net   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
A really slow waltz might be painful as a rotary, and challenging as a cross-step, and perfectly suited for a fancy Modern Ballroom waltz.
If I were better at the Modern Ballroom waltz, and there were a decent supply of partners who were good at it, I'd be much less likely to gripe about slow waltz music.
So calling it "slow waltz" is wrong, since it's too fast for cross step, and "fast waltz" is misleading, since it's slow from rotary.

C/W Waltz in a traveling dance that very rarely moves diagonally across LOD (aside from partners crossing tracks), and includes lots of two-handed and cross-handed side-by-side and semi-open patterns where the lady spins or turns more than the man.

Standard Waltz dancing seems to confuse or annoy the C/W dancers, who are not used to manuvering around couples which zig-zag across LOD.

Originally, the Boston was different and generally danced slower than the other waltzes of the period (1800's).
(basically a waltz): "At this slow speed many persons failed in accenting the Redowa correctly, gradually falling into the simpler succession of slide, change, leap, as in the polka; after a time this was called polka Redowa, and completely displaced the Redowa.
The name was, however, retained in the Redowa waltz, and a distinction was made between that and the ordinary waltz by springing with great energy upon the leap--the "too-too's" (or excessive's) of those days not failing to make their disposition known by exaggerating the leap.
