Waltz: Syncopated Turn & Dévelopé

This intermediate waltz pattern blends elegant movement with just enough challenge to make it super rewarding. In this lesson, Anthony and Rose teach a smooth traveling sequence that includes a syncopated turn (chassé) and finishes with a gorgeous dévelopé—a ballet-style leg extension that adds a stunning visual to any waltz routine. The pattern flows through multiple positions including closed, promenade, side-by-side, and outside partner. But the real secret sauce here is understanding the rhythm structure that governs waltz: “Continue, Change, New Direction.” Anthony breaks it all down so even the more technical concepts—like diagonal wall alignment, foot placement, and momentum—become easy to follow and apply. For the followers, the dévelopé will feel elegant once you’ve got the timing down. For leaders, it’s all about setting your partner up for success with clear direction and smooth transitions. If you’ve already got the basics of waltz under your belt, this is a fantastic next step that adds both beauty and complexity to your dancing. By the end of this one, you’ll not only have a new pattern to use on the floor—you’ll have a deeper understanding of how waltz actually works under the hood.

Waltz: What Is Country Waltz?

In this video, Anthony and Rease break down the basics of waltz—specifically the open right turn, which is one of the two core turning steps in waltz (the other being the left turn). If you've ever wondered what makes country waltz different from ballroom waltz, here’s the truth: it’s not. It’s just waltz… danced to country music, usually in boots and a hat. Most country dancers skip over the simple box step and go straight to the more advanced flowing style used in Silver-level ballroom waltz—and that’s what you’re learning here. They’ll walk you through the structure of the dance, explaining terms like “promenade position,” “outside partner,” and how each count of the music has a specific purpose: Count 1 = continue Count 2 = change Count 3 = new direction You'll also get a quick intro to rise and fall (yes, that smooth gliding look), and a humorous reminder that dippin’ and steppin’ is not actually waltz. This lesson is perfect for anyone wanting to learn a proper, structured waltz that still works in a country bar. It's clear, conversational, and keeps it real without making it overly complicated.

Waltz: The Secret Sauce

In this smooth and intimate waltz tutorial, Anthony and Rose teach what they call the “secret sauce” of Country Waltz—the stuff that separates dancers who just go through the motions from those who actually feel the music and flow together. This video isn’t just about steps—it’s about quality of movement. You’ll learn how to dance with more rise and fall, how to adjust your connection for the slower rhythm, and how to create a graceful look that feels as good as it looks. Anthony dives into the lead’s role in creating space and motion, and Rose gives practical tips on how followers can stay relaxed, expressive, and in sync throughout the waltz. There’s also some bonus styling and turning tips to take your basics to a new level. If you’ve been waltzing but something still feels flat or stiff, this is the lesson that unlocks it.
