STANDARD SYLLABUS
WALTZ (Standard)
Waltz is the most elegant and timeless of all partner dances—with its sweeping movements, rise and fall, and graceful turns, it’s often the first dance people think of when they imagine classic ballroom dancing. But don’t let the fancy reputation fool you—Waltz is surprisingly beginner-friendly once you get the rhythm down. This Standard Syllabus section features our full Waltz curriculum, taught in a clear, no-nonsense format designed for real-world social dancers. These are traditional instructional videos—no interactive features—just step-by-step breakdowns of the essentials, taught in the relaxed and practical X Dance style. You’ll start with the basic box step and timing, then gradually add in traveling patterns, inside and outside turns, and elegant combinations that look great on the floor without being overly complicated. Each video includes leader and follower perspectives, plus simple tips to help you feel smooth and connected right from the beginning. Whether you're preparing for a wedding, a ballroom night out, or just want to add some classic style to your dancing, this Waltz syllabus gives you everything you need to glide across the floor with confidence and grace.
