Five-Step Waltz Music


Introduction

Below, you'll find a chronological list of songs for dancing the Five-Step Waltz.*

Click on the 🔈 icons to hear selected titles interpreted by pianist Jen Bayer. A Spotify playlist of all seven of Jen's recordings can be found at the bottom of the page.

Note: Tchaikovsky also included a "Valse à 5 Temps" in his 18 pieces, Op. 72 (1893), but gives a tempo of 58 measures per minute (290 bpm), so it wasn't meant for dancing.
