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]
Variations of the Boston include:
- The Long Boston[5][6] also known as the Philadelphia Boston,[6] the Walking Boston[7] or the One Step Waltz.[6][7]
- The One-Step.[8]
- The Short Boston,.[5]
- The Dip Boston,[5] also known as Boston dip (steps of the dance were accentuated through a bend of the knees, with the center of gravity "dipping").[9]
- The Spanish Boston[10]
- The French Boston[1]
- The Herring Bone Boston[11]
- The English Boston or Three-Step Boston.[12]
- The Four-Step Boston or Four-Step Waltz.[13]
- The Five-Step Boston[2] or Five-Step Waltz.[14]
- The Seven-Step Boston.[15]
- The Double Boston or Cross Boston or Count of Luxembourg Staircase Valse[16]
- The Triple Boston[17]
- The Triple Double Boston[18]
