Rep Power: 3 Rep.: 110 | Re: Jiving to a Waltz? Jiving to a fast (viennese ) waltz is possible tho challenging, I have seen people trying to dance to Take Five - Dave Brubecks version, that was BAD. |

Rep Power: 4 Rep.: 69 | Re: Jiving to a Waltz? Do you remember "Fairground" - Simply Red. That goes 3/4 for some of it & it got played constantly at MJ when it came out. Hated it for that reason. |

Blog Entries: 1 Rep Power: 3 Rep.: 464 | Re: Jiving to a Waltz? suppose it could be done by counting 4 x 3/3 bars as 3 x 4/4 bars 1231 2312 3123 still 3 moves over 12 beats but by Strauss it'll feel weird! Someone try it and report please! |

Rep Power: 4 Rep.: 187 | Re: Jiving to a Waltz? Thanks Lou - I was about to point out the same thing. It's worth remembering that Viennese Waltz is actually quite fast, so the timing Chicklet proposed would be too fast for MJ. Also, as Jayne pointed out, the 3 beats are not even, so even with a slower waltz I think it would be quite challenging to adopt this timing pattern.
