The waltz originated in the late 16th century in Austria and Bavaria, evolving from earlier folk dances. It gained popularity in the early 19th century, particularly during the 1810s and 1820s, when it became a staple of ballroom dancing. The dance is characterized by its distinctive 3/4 time signature and smooth, flowing movements. The waltz's rise in popularity marked a significant shift in social dance, emphasizing close partner connection.
