FoxTrot
Foxtrot Moves and Rhythm
Foxtrot music is often suitable for swing dancing as well as for foxtrot dancing.
Foxtrot uses a combination of slow steps, which use two beats of music, and
quick steps, which use one beat of music. The footwork timing is usually called
out as slow, quick, quick or slow, slow, quick, quick.
The foxtrot and the waltz are similar in many ways and they share many figures.
They are both smooth dances that travel along a line of dance in a
counterclockwise fashion around the ballroom floor. The long walking
movements of the foxtrot involve a subtle rise and fall action.
