During the 19th century a dance such as the Waltz would have been shocking because of the way it was performed. The Waltz requires couples to be quite close to each other with arms around the waist (this was the main shocking bit) as well as to stare deeply into their partner's eyes. It was considered a very romantic and intimate dance and at the time this was practically unheard of.

Yeah! And some can dance the waltz!
Waltz in its early days was actually what we know now as the Viennese waltz. Viennese Waltz requires a very close hold to be properly executed and was controversial due to the close proximity in which the dancers were dancing to each other. Many people thought this was indecent. This is why the Waltz was controversial early on.

This may come pass some people as SHOCKING but Jerry Trainor and Tenzing Norgay Trainor are NOT related. It's shocking because they have the same last name. They are not related though. Keep on hoping, because they might be long lost cousins, though.

Extremely bad in some way.
9/11 happened in 1999 and it was very shocking because the Twin Towers fell and lots of people died.
A jazz waltz typically has a more syncopated rhythm and incorporates elements of swing music. It often features improvisation and a looser feel compared to a traditional waltz, which is more structured and has a strict 3/4 time signature.
