I meant that it's as easy as a waltz as soon as you got the feel of it. As long as it is grouped as 3+2.
If you want to get the hang of it, set your keyboard style to the jazzstyle Five-Four - pick variation A, choose a chord and start improvising. Keep it simple at first and if you've got the feel, try changing chords. You will notice if you try other variations, they can get you off balance more easily.
Try not to count.
