A fleckerl (Viennese German "small spot") is a dance step, most commonly found in the Viennese waltz. Unlike the natural and reverse turns, the fleckerl does not move forwards along the dance floor but instead rotates on the spot. It is normal for a couple to move to the centre of the dancefloor before dancing fleckerls, since this means that other dancers (who, in the Viennese waltz, are continually moving around the floor at high speed) do not have to make avoiding manoeuvres.
