Waltz is a smooth dance, traveling around the line of dance.  It is characterized primarily by its rise and fall action, accompanied by leg and body swing.  Turning movements in both directions are prevalent.  Most basic or "Bronze" level movements involve the Chasse Turn action, where three steps are taken with the feet closing on the third step.  The noted exception to this is the hesitation action, where only one step is taken on the first beat of the measure, while the remaining two beats are held.
