Good heavens and Jumping Jehoshaphat! Could they referencing that new dance craze, the waltz?

Now viewed as one of the most elegant of dances, the waltz initially scandalized the establishment for its lilting time signature, whirling motions, and its shocking closed hold! Protect those piglets from moral collapse!!

Just think of what they would have thought of all those wild popcorning and kicking moves!

Celebrated on March 4th, a nod to its 1-2-3, 1-2-3 musical 3/4 time signature, this dance was initially viewed with great suspicion by the general populace and moral leaders as it spread from the decadent courts of Europe after the Napoleonic wars.

Today it is considered one of the most elegant of ballroom dances!

Waltz your piggies around the room to one of Johann Strauss Jr's, The Waltz King, most beautiful waltzes, "On the Beautiful Blue Danube"! Or check out Waltz No 2 by Shostakovich! 💙 💙 💙

1-2-popcorn, 1-2-3, 1-2-popcorn! Piggies love a waltz and a snack break.

Wheek! Wheek!
