It takes a while to learn what dance to do to what music. Dancing is simple expressing yourself to the music. Often times you can do several different dances to the same tune. We use to do a dance demonstration to a Whitney Houston song where we did 10 different dances to the same tune: bolero, foxtrot, cha cha, rumba, east coast swing, samba, merengue, hustle, west coast swing, etc. Waltz is in 3; most other dances are in "2" or "4" so that can often times be interchangeable ... things depend on the "feel" of the beats and rhythm and the speed. You can do your waltz patterns to a waltz and slow waltz (it simply is slower; slow waltz is actually considered "International" style where waltz is usually "American" style; Viennese Waltz is much faster where one does a lot of spins and turns).
