Someone asked me why I called a novel of mine The Snowball Waltz so here is the explanation…
The music starts.
Two people invited by the MC begin to waltz. When the music stops they separate and seek other partners from those sitting or standing around the edge of the dance floor.
No one invited to dance may refuse, although when the music next stops, a dancer may leave the floor and not extend the invitation to dance to anyone else. n this circumstance they may not dance again in this particular Snowball Waltz.
The pattern of music, dance, silence, separation, music, dance, silence, separation, is repeated until all the people in the room are up and waltzing.
The Snowball Waltz then continues with the same partners until the music stops, the dance ends and the dancers go their separate ways.
Are you any the wiser? You’ll have to read the book then – coming up soon on WednesdayBusk.
