How do you count the basic step pattern to a vals? If I'm doing the 8-step basic, is it slow (1) slow(2) pause quick(3) slow(4) slow(5) quick(6) slow (7) slow(8)?
Or if I compared it to an American waltz, would steps 3-4-5 and 6-7-8 be analogous to the basic downbeat-2-3, downbeat-2-3?
Sorry if I'm not being clear here. Thanks!
