Waltzing in Vienna

200 Years of the Viennese Waltz © Takeshi Nakanishi As the bicentennial of the Viennese Waltz is celebrated this year, the VW tournament that traditionally takes place during the Austrian Open acquires a historic dimension. That should explain why the 2014 edition is bigger than ever! Even before it went underway this morning, a flash mob gathered on the floor to waltz to the tunes of Strauss' "Blue Danube" ... Some in attire reflecting the passage of time during the dance's first 200 years!

Austrian couples that competed in yesterday's World Standard and a flash mob rendered homage to the dance that carries the city in its name.
