🙏 Acknowledgments
Thankful for another year of support and cooperation from our town - the Stratford Police, Parks & Rec, DPW, EMS & Fire departments. AND the LITTLE PUB who has made these events possible. We could not do this without them.
🎶 Our Waltz Connection
For more on the waltz, visit Music Theory Academy. Please SCROLL DOWN to the 'Blue Danube' as you register for this unique event and enjoy your day!
Waltz music is written in ¾ time and usually counted in phases as 123, 456. Tempo averages 120 BPM’s for slow waltz but is about twice as fast for the Viennese waltz.
