waltz

Ballroom dance in moderate triple time (3/4) that developed in Germany and Austria during the late 18th century from the Austrian Ländler (traditional peasants' country dance). Associated particularly with Vienna and the Strauss family, whose works include The Blue Danube and The Emperor Waltz, and has remained popular up to the present day. Well-known composers of waltzes who use the waltz as a base for works include Frédéric Chopin, Johannes Brahms, and Maurice Ravel.
