The Walking Boston, sometimes designated the One Step Waltz, is a very simple dance in which many graceful figures may be introduced.
The man starts forward with his left foot and the lady backward with her right, simply walking to waltz time, counting one, two, three to each step.
Indeed, the Walking Boston cannot be performed easily or gracefully unless the balancing is done properly.
The fundamental figures may be varied by skipping, the man on his left foot, the lady on her right.
Another figure may be introduced by the couple taking a position both facing forward.
Couple starts forward, the man with his left foot and the lady with her right, taking three steps, making a little skip as the third step is taken; this skip is on the man's right foot and the lady's left; they balance twice, then repeat.
