Landler (English spelling)

...At the imperial court, dance rules became more strict with slow music, and elegant minuets, gavottes, quadrilles, and other dances were born. After the French Revolution, people began to prefer dances of the common people to the ceremonial dances of the imperial court, and the Ländler dance, which had been performed in the mountainous regions of Austria for a long time, gradually developed into the waltz, which became an explosive hit throughout Europe, centering on Vienna. The king of the waltz, J. Strauss, composed many famous Viennese waltzes, and the origins of today's ballroom dancing can be seen in the waltz steps, in which a man and a woman dance in pairs, gliding around and spinning. ...

【ワルツ】より

…ドイツ語のwalzen(旋回する)が語源とされ,抱き合った男女の1対が足を滑らせるようなステップで旋回し,同時にフロアを円形に回るのが特徴である。類似した舞曲は古くから認められるが,直接の前身はオーストリアの農民舞曲レントラーLändlerと考えられる。 ウィーンで18世紀末にワルツが宮廷舞踊にとってかわった事実は,パートナーが直接抱き合うという民衆性とともに,舞踊史上象徴的な意味をもつ。…
