Great teaching - well done. My wife is deaf but she can follow you perfectly.

[@jaredmccain4106]

I know it was 10 years ago, but thank you @Anderson Moore Dance!!! Finally, an in depth lesson.

[@RomiSungaOld]

Great demonstration with clear and easy to understand directions.

[@headjog69]

Very nice demo. I was drawn in because you counted 1,2,3 - 4,5,6 which is the way I have been shown in the past. It is the mark of a truly professional instructor. I'm still not totally comfortable with the switch to right foot forward moves, but I do understand the logic and the need to incorporate in a traveling dance like the waltz. Thank you very much for posting!

[@davidlawrence8085]

Thanks so much for the clear , concise , effective teaching.

[@jes9397]

Excellent instruction. Steps broken down, clear, and concise with enough added information to make the dance look good. Kudos to both instructors.

[@jdatuin]

Thank you so much for this very clear instruction video.

[@dannyrivera2]

Thank you for talking about the two tracks and not stepping on your partner, this is definitely a worry of mine and I'm glad you addressed it!

[@carybradley3968]

Exactly what I needed, thanks soo very much. Your dance is lovely!

[@mrcdad]

love your lessons - explanations and demonstrations are always so easy to follow

[@xokamikyox]

Loved it, thank you.

[@ZoeGnosis]

The box step is one of my favorite steps if done with sway, rise & fall, full body contact, etc. I challenge anyone who has been dancing for years of just doing the normal figures around the room to try this step in the center of the room and see if you discover what I've discovered about the power and beauty in this under rated step. Of course he doesn't illustrate this but I'm trying to add value to this video for those of you who've criticized this step or called it no step at all.

[@ZoeGnosis]

To Desiree, thanks for your inquiry. My comment simply put is take all the technique that you have learned in the advanced figures and apply them to this basic box step and just spend time enjoying it with a focus on styling.

[@abooswalehmosafeer173]

Eye opening ear unblocking.. Sometimes jargons confuse especially for beginners. Thanks.

[@BemiVCF]

this video clip very helpful! Thanks!!

[@nicholas1460]

Thanks, good and straight forward.

[@QUEEN42099]

So i was in dance class all through high school and learned so many dances.... i can waltz ,square dance and alittle jazz i really wish i had someone to dance wity because it was honestly something i loved to do I wish i had someone to teach.. Its so easy once you learn you will think so too.

[@joestrout3331]

I think most cities have social dance clubs. Check with your local dance studios; they will know where the socials are!

[@deeestuary]

Being a beginner I'm sure I am not qualified to comment but having had many Waltz lessons from three different teachers they have always taught us the box step.

[@vpaulmadan6873]

Well explained. Great teacher.

[@larryslone65]

Very good review.

[@helabima007]

nice explanation!

[@sleinliemay3899]

damn ! i never thought that waltz could be so hard ... haha XD

[@andersonhighland9635]

i am a beginner i live in barbados i watch plenty instructors but i understand what you are doing it help me understand what i am doing

[@bayanmallasi9167]

I have a question! maybe it's silly but what if the girl"s wearing a long dress or a wedding dress how can you avoid stepping on it?

[@carymontes1493]

My ex instructor... the best!!

[@NeerajGoyalBalianwali]

thanks.. settled some of my issues..

[@JideAloji]

Thx i needed to learn this :D

[@huanim]

Is the forward step, left foot? Both in reverse and natural?

[@Learntodance0com]

Interesting. Most Country/Western dancers dance a waltz that consist of just forward steps, something similar to what is called Running Steps in American waltz, but the American and International styles of waltz start with steps that are foward, side, together, back, side togther for the man and back, side, together, forward, side, together for the lady. Perhaps you have a different name for a box. Thanks for your comment. Cheers

[@teechaiseng264]

Very nice

[@daisysingh4659]

Thank you. Seems simple .but hard for me 😁

[@JM-gu3tx]

In other words, the first step you take is the direction you are turning. (This is something few teachers mention.)

[@Vera59Mega]

Yes I realized this. I was stucked in the box steps, after this video I am making the turns. Thank you.👍

[@Learntodance0com]

Try a search of waltz box step on youtube. Only 300+ videos teaching it. Agreed that there is no step on the ISTD step list called a box, but ask any professional anywhere what a waltz box is and how it is danced.

[@AndreaVilaOrellano]

genial

[@APerson-gl4hs]

he teaches it as if he does cs in his spare time ^^ I can tell by the vocab he uses~

[@inday9680]

I love the performance but the sounds dissapear I can't hear what he's saying

[@rockxhero]

How does a lead signal to their partner when they are going to make a change step from a reverse to a natural turn? (Other than a verbal cue.)

[@2003dedog]

Jake Kamps You lead with your body. Think leading with your core.

[@sylviameade6151]

very good.

[@Jheloas]

but how do you communicate with your partner which direction you want to go?

[@idylla5972]

Venus Lim by your hips

[@ksl0128]

Use your hand at the back of your partner to direct your partner moving forward or backwards

[@TomBrooklyn]

you lead her. there's quite a bit to doing that.

[@longtack67]

Seems like there are too many stuck up professionals on here. I dance a Waltz called the "New Vogue Modern Waltz" written by a ballroom dancer * there is a " Box Waltz" in it, in the last two bars. We dance for enjoyment not for the Prestige.

[@fmills1583]

is his american standard style?

[@sfrchino]

American style also known as Smooth

[@dancebrat99]

wait. i do stand corrected. according to he NDCA syllabus there is a right box turn in bronze. no left box turn.

[@esperenzadenoy8006]

I'm a girl can you show me how to step correct for the girl

[@veronicaandal2514]

Poor? I just returned from a 3 month vacation in Vienna, Austria. "Poor" would only apply to my checking account, which is a little spent out at the moment. But, after all, I DID spend 3 months waltzing in Vienna, and that gets a little pricey. And my waltzing was very popular with the ladies...

[@RACookPE1978]

When you are leading - particularly with a new partner or a nervous partner - simply tell her to "Back up" (as YOU hold her firmly with your right armat her waist) ... Your left hand is held confidently but is NOT the lead nor the touch you want her to think about - yes, hold her right hand (but lightly) - but keep your RIGHT hand as the "lead" arm behind her. If (when!) she is always "backing up" into your arm you can lead firmly going forwards or backwards. Or turning or swirling .

[@JSDJerry]

whoever thought up these names sure wanted to confuse students. It's left turning and right turning and progressive patterns. No need to thin k what does 'Natural" mean or what does "reverse " mean or what does 'change step' mean..

[@Arddy]

Whoever thought of it is a genius actually, left and rights being named natural/reverse, accordingly to the direction of the dance usually. It'd be even more confusing with left/right turns being used as names - as 'right' turns actually moves you left on the dance floor, and visa versa.

[@JonathonNeville]

@@Arddy Reverse turns don't reverse the direction of the dance (counter-clockwise around the ballroom), so why is it called Reverse? Why is it more natural for a couple to turn clockwise than counterclockwise while progressing down the line of dance?

[@jaygarcias2799]

do this in school only nine its TORTURE!!!!!!

[@rongentry2894]

Ballroom ji ve basic steps

[@dancebrat99]

there ar no boxes in the waltz.

[@2Pourlavie]

Yes, this is painful to watch for any real dancer. No rise and fall..no sway ..no cbm. But for a very early beginners lesson...this is all u want. Sometimes less is more:) And its of course not a box step..its just 4 reverse and 4 natural turns thats all. At the end it turns in to a perfectly normal basic step. 1-6 of natural, change step, 1-6 reverse, change step. Its a beginners lesson...give the guy a break:)

[@reiplush4428]

What if pineapples

[@dancebrat99]

you poor thing.............

[@dancebrat99]

you mean ask a 'real' professional?

[@redakter1]

This isn't really a box step, despite his calling it that. But an actual box step is used widely used as a teaching tool--not an actual waltz step.

[@RequiredSkate0]

Hate this. My pe teachers has us do this type and it is the only 1 type of waltz that confuses me cuz its like always changing.

[@Learntodance0com]

It can be a challenge. When you only rotate in one direction, it limits the way you dance the dance. Just remember that the foot always stays the same, only direction varies. Practice is all it takes.

[@RequiredSkate0]

thank you, and ive been practicing.

[@tokashoni6100]

Just to let you know, iPhone hacks people's bank accounts and I have proof. Why would you allow them to advertising see their stocks on your channel?

Shout-Out to MapleRiver kids! ahaha this homework thing for the dance section is gay!

[@dancebrat99]

no dude...your poor attitude.............and there is no left box in vieneese waltz either........
