Initially, it was considered controversial due to the fact the two dancers were in close contact and the monarch at the time thought it rude and impolite to let a man get that close to a woman when not engaged or married.

Is the waltz and the vieanese waltz the same dance?

No they are not. The Viennese Waltz is of course from Vienna and older than the Waltz. The Waltz is an English dance and has a slower tempo. Correct me if I'm wrong. x you said correct me if I'm wrong so I'll do it : The Waltz was born as an Austro-German folk dance known as the Lander, which was characterized by the rotating movements of partners dancing together. The music of Johann Strauss helped to popularize the Waltz. So to help you understand your fault.. the Waltz is not English the Waltz is German and Austrian ( Central European) ;))

Who invented the waltz dance?

The waltz evolved primarily from a German dance named 'Lander' Which became popular in Vienna in 1776, where it then spread across to England after which it became know as the waltz and thereafter we created our own waltz....the slow/English waltz which is about 80 beats per minute. I understand this may not fully answer your question but if you research the "lander dance" then you will find more info for your answer.
