As early as the seventeenth century, waltzes were played in the ballrooms. Interestingly enough the weller, or turning dances, were danced by peasants in Austria and Bavaria even before that time. Many of the familiar waltz tunes can be traced back to simple peasant yodeling melodies.]]> 2016-09-26 22:04:07 UTC https://padlet.com/twnichol97/g0eft4nbxtyv/wish/126522802 Allemande Waltz twnichol97 https://padlet.com/twnichol97/g0eft4nbxtyv/wish/126523120 1800 waltz was very popular in France.

A blistering editorial in The Times a few days later stated:

"We remarked with pain that the indecent foreign dance called the Waltz was introduced (we believe for the first time) at the English court on Friday last ... it is quite sufficient to cast one's eyes on the voluptuous intertwining of the limbs and close compressure on the bodies in their dance, to see that it is indeed far removed from the modest reserve which has hitherto been considered distinctive of English females. So long as this obscene display was confined to prostitutes and adulteresses, we did not think it deserving of notice; but now that it is attempted to be forced on the respectable classes of society by the civil examples of their superiors, we feel it a duty to warn every parent against exposing his daughter to so fatal a contagion." (Source: The Times of London, 16th July 1816)
