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).

Well-known composers of waltzes who use the waltz as a base for works include Frédéric Chopin, Johannes Brahms, and Maurice Ravel.
