I'll bet you're just thinking of the box-step (the super basic step where you basically walk in a box shape).
If I'm not misremembering my lessons--to do some of the turns properly, the woman has to be essentially straddling the man's upper leg. It was a pain to do some of those with partners who weren't comfortable with that kind of contact.

All's I meant is I can see how waltz was considered risque; as a sheltered guy, I was caught really off-guard when our instructor positioned my partner and I in the way I described.
