"I won't teach you anything fancy: just the basic form and steps to a simple waltz. You're allowed to pass on some dances, but it would be bad form if you passed on too many." He walks over towards Rita, so that he's standing next to her.

And, moving his hands into a waltz position and keeping the top of his body perfectly straight, Strange demonstrates a simple waltz step.
