Could it mean that the waltz stretches over two sides of a record (i.e. old-style vinyl record)?

I see only two contentful Google hits for "two-sided waltz". One seems to be referring to two different ways of interpreting a waltz, and the other one I don't understand. Clearly it is not a well known term.

It is not a term used in music that I have ever heard of. It could be someone's personal description of a particular piece of waltz music. Can you give us any other clues, or shall we just keep guessing with no context to guide us?

Thank you for the answers. I don't really have a context. But someone said, for example, a three-sided waltz is in 3/4 time. I don't know much about music, so I'm not sure whether it's correct or not.

Surely all waltzes are in 3/4 time. That is one of the main defining characteristics of the waltz.

Perhaps two-sided and three-sided ref

Then "someone" is talking nonsense.

Please give more context. It has no meaning for me.

"meter" is used in context of music timing and rhythm, not "sided"
