Learn the Foxtrot and You have Learned to Dance

The Foxtrot is one of the great ballroom dances. It takes a lot of practice to get the basic steps right, but when you do you will glide round the floor to great music while others look on, perhaps a little enviously.

Apart from a smooth and graceful dance movement, the Foxtrot is about rhythm, pace, poise, and romance. Think black tie and swirling skirts. Think sophistication. Think fun!

Hold your partner close, move together - teamwork is all - and enjoy the flow, the sensation of easy togetherness.

It is not a dance I tire of, it is so relaxing!

The Foxtrot repays the effort of learning, and it will take some practice: so take every opportunity to figure out the basic dance steps; learn how to do them properly and in a reasonable sequence, and keep at it - you will succeed!

You can easily teach yourself to dance Foxtrot using a quality video guide. I would recommend Louis van Amstel's step-by-step dance guide for its clarity and enthusiasm, and because you can download it now.
