What did Queen Victoria think of the waltz?
Queen Victoria was a keen dancer. However she was not allowed to dance the waltz before her wedding because the waltz was considered too vulgar for an unmarried lady of her class. That didn't stop her wanting to. In her diary just before her wedding, she writes how much she is looking forward to dancing the waltz at last - with her husband of course. Johann Strauss I (the father of the one who write the Blue Danube) provided music for the balls associated with her wedding, including a stonker of a waltz called "Homage to Victoria, Queen of England". As she became queen before she married, she would not have danced to it.
