According to moral norms, the valse was criticized even more: too fast circular movements, too close position. For religious leaders, valse seemed to be the embodiment of sin and vulgarity.

In the summer of 1816, the waltz was included in the program of the ball that was organized in the capital of England by the prince-regent.On July 16, 1816, The Times angrily criticized the waltz, calling on women to be modest and restrained, as well as warning parents about the detrimental impact this dance could have on their daughters.
