Fun fact: in Austria, this piece is played at midnight on new years eve to welcome the new year and people actually dance a waltz in the street if they happen to be celebrating together it‘s really cool
I want to do that someday
@@l.jadeee9997 Me too
@@l.jadeee9997 Sameeeee... not that I know how to dance waltzes. I'd have to learn before new years XD
NEUJAHRSKONZERT😍
@@11thShadowDragon it's really simple! forward, sideways, feet together. backwards, sideways, feet together. That's all it is :)
The guy with the long hair looks like a prince 🤴🏻
The black-haired guy in a ponytail?
1:33
right! I'm swooning
He stood out! Very handsome.
this particular dance is a tradition passed down through the generations when young women came of age and were introduced to the 'lord or the land' and declared as of a marriageable age. This is now a continuation of the tradition in the Hungarian community in Toronto for the past several decades.
Now the ladies are introduced to the Governor General at a great ball once a year.
I was lucky enough to have my eldest daughter dance this dance with her father a lot of years ago. It is a beautiful memory for all participants and let me say that you don't have to be rich, or even Hungarian to participate. You have to love music and good company.
Giselle, there is a certain strand of the Chicago Polish American community that has been doing very elegant debut parties for almost a century, in the Grand Ballroom of the Conrad Hilton Hotel. The "debs" wore white gowns, as in this video, and the previous years' debs wore red gowns and they did their dances as well, sometimes mingling with the white-gowned debs. It was all to the lovely Strauss Waltzes. Everyone behaved appropriately, as I recall. Not only was the "White and Red Ball" a lot of fun, but so also were the rehearsals, the tea parties, meeting new people. Such fun! Such memories!
Thanks I like this kind of music.A relaxing music .More of this kind of music and dance.
How interesting, traditional and romantic! I like very much hear things like this!
oh wow, interesting. you learn something new every day. so many traditions and cultures. so much to celebrate!
That's awesome! Recently I've read a lot of manhwa with nobles setting of 17th & 18 th century, and there are a lot of ball scenes, beautifully illustrated, making me wonder if such concept of 'introducing to the society' still exists nowadays. It's great to know that indeed it does. That must've been a wonderful experience
Everyone: -complaining about the clapping-
Me: One girls dress skirt fabric is different than the rest
I know all the others have tulle hems and then that one girl has silk
Bet she's wearing her old wedding dress.
YES! Glad it's not just me
Quando algo tão lindo assim tenho certeza que Deus existe

The Viennese Waltz, one of the most beautiful ceremonies in human history
have you literally seen eastern mass
Agree, I love the Vienna Waltz and the Blue Danube Waltz. After 30 years of "daydreaming". I finally had a chance to go to Vienna. On this same trip I had the chance to go to the church where Julie Andrews wedding took place.
Are you really so educated that you know the whole history of mankind? So to say about the Viennese Waltz is to amuse the gods.
@@valerie8217 tfw subjectivity is a thing
It's okay but the location really doesn't hold up. It looks like it's just a cheap rental hall and that detracts somewhat.
I’ve just started an intro dance class and some expected students were all like “don’t learn this dance if you get dizzy.” One of them actually ran into a wall while trying to learn it.
But this Waltz is just so mesmerizing and romantic that I want to learn it. Even if I’ll run into a wall.
😄😄
That's why you change the step and direction of spin often. It helps combat the dizziness. I don't think a more beautiful dance was ever invented, but it's incredibly difficult since it is so fast. The Viennese waltz's meter is usually twice that of normal ballroom waltzes - whew, difficult and quite the workout.
At 1:30 the way tube guy smiles at the red haired girl really did for me💫 same for 4:23 the blonde girl and her companion, it truly seems that they are having fun, it’s mesmerizing
1:30 guy is very handsome.
Me, an American:
Why don’t we do THIS at school dances, like--
I’m all for the cha cha slide, but I want to do something like this
“I’m all for the cha cha slide but-“ 💀 lsgskdgsk
rolling tHUNDAAA 😅
Because kids are stupid
Because America doesn't have any class anymore. I wish I could have lived in the late 50's early 60's. The height of American culture. Has gone down hill since. Worked at a banquet center for awhile and I couldn't believe the style of Dancing now days! (I was blessed to be homeschooled, by older parents who saw where the school and world was headed. So I was not in the "narmal" culture). I could hardly believe "dancing" that way and in front of children! By a Quinceanera was going on in another room. They where dancing great! That was the party we watched. It was funny. It turned out to be a girl My sisters know. (They don't have each others contact imfo) She kept trying to get me to join the party, but since I was on the job sadly I couldn't. But My older Mexican coworker wouldn't even let me in the other party room unless it was necessary for a sweep clean. I do know how to square Dance though and it is fantastically fun! Sadly young people are joining hardly at all, so Clubs are having to close and the art is threatening to disappear. Our club close and sadly the nearest one is over a 1 1/2 hours away so we only get to go maybe once or twice a year. If you get a chance join and learn! It may be mostly older folks but they are way more fun then younger folks! The guys are seasoned smartypants. And love a good banter.

I just wanna dance waltz in the rain to love songs with someone I love and loves me back. Is that to much to ask??
Same 😭😭
Yes it seems like a dream to me
it's been a long, long time- Harry james
Merry-go-round of life- Howl's moving castle[piano]
Claire de lune- Claude Debussy
The Swan- Camile Saint-Saëns, Yo-Yo Ma
I recommend these songs for when the occasion comes, good luck :]
@@samandrew5144 oo thankyou
Same.😢
Honestly I woulde be smiling and giggling like an idiot while dancing because Im being held by my waist lol
As would I.
Traditionally in Hungary at the end of high school there's a prom so called Szalagavató (ribbon ceremony or something like that) where (within other ceremonies) the last year students dance Viennese Waltz. And yes, 99% of the 18 yearolds will react to that like that. But that's just part of the fun!
Me when I'm both ticklish and touch starved
@@minoru8391 same lmaoo
So would I
I know some schools have a course on dance but why not make it something nation wide. With dance it gives confidence, respect for each others space if given the proper instructions something we can all gain. You don't need fancy clothes to dance. Returning to some basics can be a start in an increase to love, patience and tolerance. Doors to future possibilities. Need I say more 😊
When I was in grade school, we had to basic waltz, and I went to public
Tiki and Charlie probably not in the U.S. then.
I may not need fancy clothes to dance but replacing one of those left feet with a right hand one would be a definite start. I do wish I could dance like this. PS after nearly 50 years I still have never done a bridal waltz with my lovely wife. Wouldn't it be good if I could at least do it on our 50th?
i agree its like all the other subjects, They give us a free trial at things and then we expand our intrests from that
No you don't need fancy clothes to dance. But a swishy dress sure makes it more fun.
One of those girls was dragging her feet and looked so unhappy, it was, in my opinion, the best part
That would be me if i did this
Time stamp?
I think 03:12
Nobody:
Guy in background: I ✨love✨ that Erica
6:37 I had my headphones on and at that moment this dude says “I love that Erica” in my right ear it scared the shit out of me 🤣
Lmao
Quelli che urlanondurante il walzer sarebbero strozzare
As a former ice dancer I realize just how difficult the timing and execution of the Viennese Waltz can be given the unusual syncopation of steps in relation to the music. These dancers all of whom are probably amateurs did a remarkable job of creating both the atmosphere and elegance of this "classic" ball room dance. Unfortunately the audience were just a bit over the top on more than one or two occasions as many others have mentioned. Nonetheless, very well performed indeed.
Many tempo changes
My instinct is to shuffle from years of boxing to cover the distance if I fuck up lol but that just makes it worse
Beautiful!! Timeless! Nothing more beautiful than a Viennese waltz! Wonderfully done. I agree with commentator after the dance. I was transported back to a ballroom in Vienna during the reign of the Hapsburgs!!!
Thank you very much!
1:30 guy on the front left looks like he belongs in the anime Black Butler
i think that too
Omg your user name😭 I'm also a Yoongi stan🤚🏼 but yes the man did look like he belonged in a anime i admired his hair
i- mind reader???

Yes
The dancing is elegant, but that whooping and clapping snaps you right back into our crass reality.
Excelente me encanta o bien
Ami me gustan los balces
Felicidades.

It is obvious a dance recital. The parents are applauding for their sons and daughters.
You think whooping and hollering was invented yesterday? Look. When dances like this were popular they were still held at parties. Where people laughed and ate and drank, alot. If you think a ball is some kind of sterile occasion where some people dance pretty and others talk quietly, you're wrong. Its a party. The men would go off in other rooms and puff on cigars and get shitfaced. The women would sip on champagne and giggle and talk. Theres a reason why at the end of balls an idiot in a full tux would wake up with his shoes missing in a fountain. These parties were were wild. Held from sun down to sun up. Drop this illusion that everything used to be elegant and quiet and realize that people have always enjoyed being loud and making a scene.
Que bello
It’s so Lovely to see the waltzes staying current, & enjoyed still in the 21st century❣️ beautifully danced and lovely gowns. I could watch this for hours❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
4:03 I’ve always liked this part of the dance
Usually, I’m a huge fan of clapping and cheering in competition and in showcase, and it normally is exhilarating, knowing the crowd is cheering for you. However, I do kinda think that cheering here isn’t really... applicable to the situation. They’re not so much dancing to impress with their moves as they are with their dignity/class.
Also to the people who are saying this dance is superior to other dances FOH. No dance is superior to another. All dances are meant to evoke something. Hip hop doesn’t try to be dignified, it tries to be fun, and show a lot of skill while simultaneously making it look natural (although I suppose the same could be said about v-waltz, but they’re just different). We don’t need all this division in dance (and no, b4 anyone comes at me with you probably just to hip hop or rap, nah, I do mostly latin but also ballroom)
Thx for coming to my TedXtalk
I'm surprised the cheering is the main topic of comments on this video. It didn't bother me at all. Obviously this is a showcase (and a 16-person showcase at that). The audience members are family, friends, and probably a fair number of other dancers in the local club. If they want to cheer for their loved ones, why not? I get what you're saying about dignity/class, but I think you can show that by studiously ignoring the cheers as well as not having any.
Mostly, what I see is over a dozen people who worked really hard to put on a cool show, and pulled it off with style. There must have been an awful lot of evenings and weekends getting all that to come together. Well done!
Correct me if I am wrong but weren't debutante balls in North America especially, held by rich families from eg Boston or New York, (I am also thinking that Southern aristocratic families held similar type of ball / dance) who wanted to flaunt their wealth and find suitable partners for their eligible and desirable sons and daughters... I think the Viennese Waltz is beautiful as far as elegant historical dances go and the music is awesome, must be nice to have the money to afford this extravaganza.
@@Irnbru4ever I thought they were mostly in vienna and north-western mainland europe, but I could also be very wrong. My history on this subject isn't as strong as I'd like it to be. I quite like the Viennese Waltz, actually, and the culture behind it. My more negative comments were targeted towards people who were being elitist about it.
The history of the Viennese Waltz dates back to early 1800s and is an Austrian and German mix. It is a ballroom dance which I think was popularised in the early 19th century and better known through the use of music by Johan Strauss. In ballroom dancing today there are two versions, the International one and the American one. I have read a long time ago in some books where debutante balls were held in America throughout earlier history... I think I may have worded it different from you but my meaning was similar. It wasn't the Viennese Waltz I had issue with but the pretentious debutante reference. Mutton dressed as lamb in my opinion.. All show and definitely elitist
The magic of Vienna lives on
As a former choreographer who choreographed this piece multiple times for Quinces (also known as Quinceñeras in some countries), I think it was outstanding!!! The choreography is beautiful and the performance was almost flawless. It's even more impressive knowing they are not professional dancers. Well done!!! Kudos!!!
Watching this brings back memories of my mom and day. Gawd, could they dance. Like two angels floating on clouds. I miss you mom and dad!
How beautiful! Kudos to the choreographer, and the young people that executed this waltz so elegantly.
Watching young people dancing Viennese waltzes gets me optimistic about our world.
The most beautiful dance ever created
I love this Beautiful Aristocratic and Elegant Dance!!
ToT brought me here. Anything for Vyn!💖
The first lady to seen with glasses is FLOATING 💖
The most beautiful music for the soul.
Lindo maravilhoso que lindo muito lindo meu maestro eu André ti amo muito meu lindo
Muy hermoso ese vals me recuerda cuando estuve en la primaria para la despedida de sexto ese fue nuestro val muy hermoso
How graceful they are! With each movement they make I can feel their elegance and beauty. I love this so much ☺️💕
I remember when I was really little, I'd stand on my grandma's feet and she'd player her little music box and we'd dance the waltz together, it was so much fun and memorable, my grandma had a lot of class and I envy that
I love the way that the ladies' skirts balloon out as they turn. So elegant. I just wish that these young people would smile a bit more and act like they enjoy what they're doing. If I could dance like that, with these pretty ladies, I would certainly be smiling!!!
This's amazing amazing... What a performance!! The instruments, the musicians, the artists, their pleasant face!!! The musicians did the dancers and the dancer's brought out the music 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Non ci sono parole per descrivere la bellezza di questo walzer
Just beautiful and elegant the wonderful Viennese Waltz, one of my wholetime favourite dances and music xx
U
How beautiful. What a sweet blessing to see.
Thank you
This is so elegantly beautiful 😭😭❤️
Love Johann Strauss's music since I was 9 yrs old.
Someone so beautiful, to lift spirits, thank you for this!
you couldn't choose a longer piece of music for the entrance!? ;-) Very elegantly presented and really well waltzed!! As an Austrian used to balls like this, this was very mooving. Well done debutantes, you really deserved your Pálinka :-)
Glad you enjoyed it!
In my next life I want to dance like that. Loved it !
I'm so obsessed with how beautiful and graceful they are.
Beautiful! I am crying! sending love from Toronto!
How beautiful! impossible to describe with words! there is still elegance on this planet! A dream! 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
came here bc of vyn's bday card plss this is so beautiful
Omg made me cry, my mom used to choreograph back in the day, so beautiful!
Beautifully Done! The lady at the end was right. You transported us all to an Vienna ballroom in 1800s. Bravo Ladies and Gentlemen!!
This is lovely, thank you so much!
This makes me *really* want to be rich. Everything looks so e x p e n s i v e
Edit: I feel like I would get yelled at for touching something.
Edit 2: So I genuinely didn't know that you DONT have to be rich to enjoy things like this and that's so mind-blowing to me. I thought rich people got all the cool, pretty-looking stuff???

good then dont have to do it do you. I think if had that opportunity when teen it be great... not everything so blah in life dark .. sadistic
Beautiful
Don’t worry, I’m pretty sure most of the dresses and suits are probably loaned to the dancers and such. Honestly the most expensive thing may be the dancing floor-
I love to watch ball room dancing since I was a kid with my family and they love it also. This is so beautiful and gracefully done.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Beautiful, just absolutely, incredibly beautiful!!!
Stunning and so graceful
This song/piece is stuck in my head from whatching tom n jerry many years ago and i have been trying to find it for ages..and Yt recommend me this maybe YT recommendations isnt bad after all
Absolutely magical, the dancers lovely.
Oh this is sooo beautiful music and wonferful dance!!😙💓
Thank you so much!
Pas d'autre mot. C'est superbe. Vive les Strauss, ces grands compositeurs.
Oui, c'est superbe. Après une merveille pareille, quelques difficultés à se remettre à de la musique plus populaire. J'aime ces hommes habillés en noir et ces femmes en blanc. Une bonne dame blanche à déguster comme dessert. Une glace vanille chocolat, un café viennois. En regardant ces images.
J'ai beaucoup de difficulté à écouter la
musique des valses de Johann Strauss.
C'est trop touchant et trop émouvant.
La sensibilité en prend un coup. J'ai toujours rêvé d'assister à un bal; malheureu-
sement ça n'est jamais arrivé.
Belíssima apresentação !!!! É tudo magnífico.....❤❤❤ música, coreografia, figurinos..... amei tudo ! 👍😊❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏
How beautifully done!
Very beautiful! Thank you.
A celebration of life itself. The choreography of joy.
This is music we can all dance and keep time to. Love it
That is a lot to memorize! Beautiful job!
So enjoyed this lovely dance and the presentation. Beautiful
Pienso que nací en la generación equivocada, yo debí de haber nacido en esa gloriosa época de educados caballeros, hermosa música y bellos atuendos. Cuando escucho esta música literalmente mi mente me transporta a esos castillos 🏰 y me veo en medio de esos amplios salones bailando con un elegante caballero 🥺💋👗
YA SOMOS 2 😭
Mi estimada, esos bailes, vestidos y caballeros eran solo para gente rica, la mayoría era super pobres. Créame que ahora es u. Muy buen tiempo para vivir, especialmente para la que somos mujeres. Saludos.
Absolutely beautiful and elegant!
So beautiful.
Why are people clapping like hooligans mid-dance??? There is a time for clapping and it's AFTER the dance!
they didn't know the rule of the game....
Not it's not....a lot of performers enjoy getting cheers and clapping while they are performing for encouragement and energy.
Felicia Gonzalez-Soto yeah that’s true 😂
@@feliciagonzalez-soto674 well it's kind of informal and rude to the audience that's trying to pat attention.
@@cameronwatson471 Its a Ball not a high culture event! Im from Austria(home of Danube Waltz) and i love when young people dance this traditional dance!
I am nostalgic to the time I cannot remember. 😂😂😂😍😍😍
When you watched cinderella and saw her dance with the prince and ended up wanting to do it too
I always love this dance and music before even I learn to read and write and OMG. Now I’m an adult. It’s the same. It’s timeless
Cómo se llama la pista?
My late husband was born handicapped from birth and he loved the movie"Tje Great Waltz" about Johann Sebastin Bach,his only regret in life was that he couldn't waltz with me. He's been gone now 9 years and 4 monts,months, I know he's in heaven dancing to this beautiful music!!!!
Absolutely beautiful. Just beautiful 💖💖
Szuper! Szép koreográfia, szép kivitelezés! Gratulálok!
Mágico , imortal , belíssimo ! Dispensa , qualquer comentário 🥰
That is beautiful, so inspiring. A dream
Какие молодцы сценарист и хариограф! Создали уникальное и неповторимое, право на танцы разных форм и размеров внешности, как мужчин так и женщин!!! Все, обстлютно все имеют право быть счастливым!!! Когда, человек танцует он счастлив!!! Браво, Браво. Браво всем, всем, всем и Штраусу!!!
the couple in the front at 4:55 got me mesmerised. how come they are so good?!
Che bello! Da ragazzina, era il mio sogno! Quello di partecipare al ballo delle debuttanti e ballare anch'io,il valzer viennese, con qualche bel ragazzo!☺️☺️☺️☺️♥️
I love this. They look so lovely on the dance floor. I'm just shook that this still happens (Gala Ball), I have to read about it after watching this video.
there is a similar one in toronto every year. It called the: Helicon Ball
So beautiful and elegant!!!
This dance absolutely defeated me when I was trying to learn dancing on high heels. Ballroom dance is stunning, especially venise waltz
I'm here to learn this dance for Vyn Richter.

Haha, I'm here for Vyn too😂
