Loading... 4. Closed Changes Backward Fact Sheet
Closed Changes are figures in both Slow Waltz and Viennese Waltz that consist of three steps, used to transition from Reverse Turns to Natural Turns and visa versa. The Closed Changes Backward are a version of Closed Change that begin with the man stepping back (lady forward). They are taken after the first 3 steps of either a Natural or Reverse Turn. Although the primary purpose of the Closed Changes is to act as a transition between two turns, many Closed Changes can also be danced in succession. It is not very common to do in practical application, but multiple consecutive Closed Changes can be a useful exercise to learn various aspects of Viennese Waltz movement. 4a.
