Boston (dance)

The Boston refers to various step dances, considered a slow Americanized version of the waltz^[1]^[2] presumably named after where it originated.^[1] It is completed in one measure with the weight kept on the same foot through two successive beats.^[3] The "original" Boston is also known as the New York Boston or Boston Point.^[4]
