Ermm, possibly.

I can't recommend a book, but that would really be overkill for something so simple. I am assuming you have some good waltz tunes you can play. For teaching beginners, a really strong rythm helps alot. The best and easiest way is for you to find someone to show you in person

The way we teach it, for our country and ceilidh dances in Edinburgh is as follows.

First demonstrate it, just walzing round in a circle. Then, get the class in a large circle, facing inwards, and get them to do the basic step, which is as follows.

With your right leg, step right(1). Then bring your left leg just past it (2) so your legs are crossed, and pivot on your feet, pulling your right shoulder backwards, to turn your body 180' degrees. You then repeat, leading with your left foot.

This is two bars of basic waltz, and the step pattern is RIGHT left right LEFT right left. The emphasis is on the one beat, the side step, and the 2-3, the turn is fairly much on the spot.

Once they have got the basic movement down, get them to face outwards, and do it agin, starting with the left leg. Then, you pair them up in ballroom hold, with the men on the inside, ladies on the outside, so pointing anti-clockwise. Then get them to have a go at waltzing as a couple. The men will start with the left leg, ladies right.

It's not something that easy to describe in words. PM me if you have any questions.
