Boston (dance)
The Boston refers to various step dances, considered a slow Americanized version of the waltz[1][2] presumably named after where it originated.[1] It is completed in one measure with the weight kept on the same foot through two successive beats.[3] The "original" Boston is also known as the New York Boston or Boston Point.[4]
Variations of the Boston include:
- The Long Boston[5][6] also known as the Philadelphia Boston,[6] the Walking Boston[7] or the One Step Waltz.[6][7]
