Beginners Foxtrot — Group Class

The foxtrot is a smooth, progressive ballroom dance characterized by long, flowing movements. It is typically danced to 4/4 big band music with a “slow, slow, quick, quick” rhythm. The foxtrot emerged in the 1910s when it was originated by Vaudeville performer, Harry Fox. It features a basic, traveling step pattern designed to move dancers across the floor, making it an ideal dance for social events and weddings.

What to Wear

• Comfy clothing, nothing tight that may restrict movement and flexibility.
• Shoes you’re comfortable in. If you cannot walk in heels then you cannot dance in heels, so pick a flat or appropriate heel. We recommend The Dancer In You if you are looking for practice shoes. Please Note: proper ballroom shoes have a suede sole that should not be worn outside.
