When dancing at clubs that do Playford and other older dances, we are often told of dances with 3/4 tunes "this is not a waltz", and that we should phrase it with 6 even step across 2 bars instead of ONE, two, three - a long and 2 short steps / bar.
Then ther is the minuet, which I know nothing about except that it is also 3/4.
