Originally waltz was seen as vulgar. Never before lady and gentleman were dancing so close together. When this forbidden fruit was a little accepted the true, pious gentlemen were even didn’t touch the lady, but they used a glove or handkerchief. Well, take a look at this example...

The Viennese waltz was exported to the United States, but found too fast. He was delayed and expanded with graceful, floating movements: the Boston waltz. Who was brought back to Europe to become the slow waltz.
