Anneliese in an empty ballroom

Anneliese Huber

I’m Anneliese. I teach the slow waltz and the Viennese waltz to beginners and couples, and I sell printable step diagrams, music guides and two video courses.

Track list

  2. 2Walking the waltz before you dance itFreeThree steps to a bar on an ordinary walk, so the rhythm is in your legs before you hold anyone.
  3. 3The basic box step, slowlyFreeSix steps that draw a small square on the floor, shown from above and then from the side.
  4. 4Holding your partner without grippingFreeWhere the hands, arms and shoulders go, and how a light hold makes the turning easier.
  5. 5Where your feet go in a turnFreeTwo couples’ feet filmed close up, so you can see how the steps travel around each other.

About me

I grew up in Vienna, where almost everyone learns to waltz at some point, and I have taught it for more than twenty-five years. Most of my students are adults who have a wedding, an anniversary or a ball coming up, or who simply always wanted to. They are nervous about their feet and about their partner. I tell them the same thing every time: the waltz is a walk in three, and you already know how to walk.

I film in an empty ballroom with a parquet floor and at home in my front room, with a record player, a bit of chalk and a pair of smooth shoes. What I sell are the things I use when I teach: step diagrams to print, drills for the turn, a guide to hearing the music and two video courses, one for the slow waltz and one for the Viennese. I do not sell lessons here. I teach you to practise well on your own or with your partner.
