Slow and Quick

Hallo Jonathan,

I am confused about the exact meaning of the terms Quick and Slow. Since I'm also a musician, I compare dancing with music. I always thought that the terms Quick and Slow stood for the time between the steps. We are now learning the Viennese Waltz and my teacher counts Slow - Quick - Quick, but the steps are taken on the normal 1 - 2 - 3 counts. If you listen to a waltz, you can hear a bass on the first count with a long duration. On the counts 2 - 3 there are often chords with a short duration. In this case it looks like the terms are used for the duration. You take more time to do the first step compared to the other two steps, but the duration is the same. Can you tell me more about this?
