Cotillion, Wedding Dance, Prom - these are good enough reasons why one should learn how to dance the waltz (or at least try). Here are great sources to get you started.

Waltz Dance Videos / DVD:

Now that you've at least had a glimpse of the waltz dance, you might want to try taking formal waltz dance lessons to apply what you've just learned. Just see if you could work it with a partner - even find out if you have the potential to dance the waltz "like a star."

Here's one site I've found offering waltz dance lessons. It's in New York City, New York (I think there's something about New York that makes great dancers - think JLo and her Bronx lessons). Anyway, the dance group is called "Ballroom Wedding Dance" (It's partners with the "Ballroom NYC" Studio). Other than the waltz, the "Ballroom Wedding Dance" also specializes in other (romantic) wedding dances like tango, samba, and rumba. The wedding dance lessons are choreographed and taught by trainer Peter Jones, an award-winning NYC dance instructor. Here's their official site: BallroomWeddingDance.Com. Of course there are other dance lesson groups offering great lessons in waltz.
