I can’t even express what just happened. Several decades of togetherness- I shyly asked my guy if he would dance with me. As I loaded your lesson on the tv he saw that you offered simple step by step direction. He is a great guy he just sees himself as a non-dancer. With your careful instruction and my ear to ear smile encouraging him along, he danced with me. Heart swell!!!

Der Tanzlehrer ist wunderbar mit seinen Schülern. Schön genau. Eine Tolle Tanzschule. Hier lernt man richtig TANZEN!!

My wife and I just love all of your videos. Thank you so much Egils for your detailed videos.

It was very helpful. There's nothing like this on the internet.

I had to dance the waltz in a college club activity, but I didn't know how to dance it. This video helped me understand the basics of the waltz. I will practice hard from now on.

no classes needed outside as u r a wonderful amazing teacher

[spicyluci]

Awesome video. I've been trying to find a video on how to do the basic waltz, and watched countless videos...
I would say, that this video was the best.
Thank you for sharing!

[batgirlp]

Very good, I learned so much. Sometimes I have a hard time following the partnership step because I am practicing alone. Thanks for this.

[heidireeves]

I love you. I cannot even tell you how much I love your videos. You break things down so well. You are the best dance teacher I have ever seen. You have a gift. More like a superpower. I have been dancing for several years, and now teach beginners in my small town. I have seen many teachers and many videos. I have watched your various videos, like the rumba arm movements and all these technique videos and they are exactly what I need! For myself and to teach! In this video, I absolutely love how you are teaching them not only dancing but also etiquette. I will incorporate that into my classes. :) You inspire me to teach better!

[alexranner]

So clear for both first time dancers and first time instructors. I will teach some friends tomorrow and I can't wait. Thank you so much!

[fcogbonnia]

woooow what a great teacher! My soon to be husband and i will be learning waltz for our wedding thanks to you♥

[dzatlas]

Egils, merci pour ce cours de valse. Excellent enseignement, je me suis sentie intégrée à votre groupe d'élèves !

[jdatuin]

I love this video. I've been watching this now over 3 days and nights (smile emoji). I have subscribed. You are the best teacher Emils Smagris. Very patient and able to empathize with students who are meticulously slow, and who want to do the right way. Thank you so much !!

[zulukim]

Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. Just started to take Waltz, and your video really explains the basics the best!! Basics are what everyone needs the most

[DancerGirl-]

I'm so grateful you do the exercise while explaining the music. So true about the singers' license (I think the addition of lyrics to, for example, ice skating, has really been not to skaters' advantage.) Knowing the emphasis and hearing that in the musicians' playing is so important.

If we can have so nice and paceful teacher !!!!
