| | 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which evolved from the "Boston", and the fast waltz was renamed the Viennese Waltz, with reference to the city that originally made it famous.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. |
