country waltz

Rustic three-step dance

A country waltz is a waltz adapted for country and western music, typically played at a slower tempo than classical waltzes and often featuring steel guitar or fiddle.

The dance style is simpler and more relaxed than ballroom versions, popular at honky-tonks and country dance halls: They swayed through a country waltz as the band played.
