The Ballroom and Latin Dances

Foxtrot


Said by some to have been originated by Harry Fox(1913). It is now a standard ballroom dance the world over. One version of the foxtrot is a good foundation for any social dance and be easily attempted by beginners with relative ease. It can be danced to many standard popular songs in 4/4 time.

The rhythm is relaxed and flowing. The slow foxtrot is a more advanced version of the dance. Its elegant movement requires precise control by the dancers and this version is better suited to intermediate and advanced dancers.
