To achieve the beautiful rise & fall of the waltz, execute the "long" steps (steps 1 & 4 of each 6-count phrase) & the "short" steps (steps 2, 3, 5, & 6 of each 6-count phrase) properly. When stepping forward on the long steps, lead with your heel, rolling forward onto your foot. When stepping back on the long steps, lead with your toe, rolling back onto your foot. Execute the short steps on the balls of your feet
