Engleski valcer - English waltz

Engleski valcer:spada u grupu standardnih igara.Sama reč govori da igra potiče iz Engleske.Plesan je na svetskom prvenstvu 1922.godine a kao ime koristi se od 1929.godine.Pre je bio dosta progresivan ples ali nakon nekog vremena zbog većeg broja okreta na kraju takta počeo se koristiti priključak stopala.Pleše se uz laganu muziku zbog ritmičnih pokreta i tako postaje najharmoničniji ples u grupi standardnih plesova.Engleski valcer se pleše kao prvi ples na takmičenjima i mnogi ga nazivaju "kraljem" plesova i smatra se najlepšom igrom na svetu zbog svojih estetskih,gracioznih i elegantnih koraka.Osnovno korak ima šest koraka.Prvi i četvrti koraci su naglašeni dok su ostali lagani.Muzika je 3/4 takta,a tempo je 30 taktova u minuti.

The man should place his right hand slightly beneath the woman’s left shoulder blade with his right arm held at a 90 degree angle to his body. His left arm should be raised so that the woman’s hand can rest lightly in it, and should be held at her eye level. The woman, in turn, should rest her left hand comfortably near the man’s right shoulder, providing pressure with her fingers and thumb to better “follow” her partner’s lead. For better balance, the woman should look over the man’s right shoulder. This also creates an elegant and poised dance position.
The waltz is a 3/4 time or 3/8 time dance, based on three steps. The first of the 3 beats is strong and, followed by 2 lighter beats. It sounds like this: ONE, two, three, ONE, two, three...
