"Valse" is a type of dance characterized by its graceful, flowing movements and is typically performed in triple time. Originating in the late 18th century, it became popular in ballrooms across Europe, especially in Vienna. The dance is often associated with romantic themes and is commonly set to classical music. In addition to its dance form, "Valse" also refers to a musical composition that accompanies the dance. Composers like Johann Strauss II and Frédéric Chopin have created famous waltzes that capture the elegance and rhythm of the dance. The term is often used interchangeably to describe both the dance and the music.
