Foxtrot
The Foxtrot is a slow and elegant dance that was adapted for use in the Ballroom from a stage act that was performed prior to 1920. It gained popularity throughout the 1920’s being danced to much of the popular music of the time. It is a challenging dance to master but eventually provides great satisfaction from its graceful movements. This dance is also among the 5 dances performed in International Competitions.
