Caroline Walker

“ Now the man steps backward with his left foot and the lady forward with her right, taking four steps. Then balance, and instead of four quarter turns to the one, two, three count of the music, make two half turns in the same time.
A word now as to balancing, for you will do a great deal of it in the Walking Boston, and the dance cannot be performed easily or gracefully unless the balancing is done properly. Balancing means throwing the weight of the body successively onto one foot and then on the other. ”

“ In balancing onto the forward foot, the backward foot should barely leave the floor, and in no event should it be brought forward. And in balancing onto the backward foot the forward foot should not be brought backward. ”

“ The Walking Boston
The Walking Boston, sometimes designated the One Step Waltz, is a very simple dance in which many graceful figures may be introduced. It is done to the same music as the Hesitation Waltz and Dream Waltz. ”
