Ballroom Dance Instruction for the Foxtrot
Learn to
dance the Foxtrot - Learn the Basic
Six Count; the Promenade; the Rock
Turn Left; the Rock Turn Right; the Sway Step;
and Underarm Turns.
Originally danced to ragtime music, the Foxtrot is most played today by musicians with the Big Band Sound or DJ playing the music chosen for the dance attributes of the Foxtrot. It is attributed to Harry Fox, an American Vaudeville star. When he was unable to find female dancers able to do the more difficult two step, he introduced two "trots" to his dances which became known as Fox's Trot. It like other "trots" had a slightly faster tempo than we do today. It was actually much closer to a Quickstep. It was the famous dancers Vernon and Irene Castle who made the Foxtrot an elegant, smooth, and gliding dance. What is surprising is that the biggest selling Foxtrot disc, with estimated sales of 30 million copies, is Rock Around The Clock, by Bill Haley and His Comets. Characteristics of the Foxtrot is the upright posture of the dancers walking with quick and slow steps. If you can stand upright and walk with good posture, you can learn to dance the Foxtrot. Smooth in fact is the main description of the dance. Men generally like Foxtrot because it is a lot like walking or strolling. The dance is in some ways similar to Waltz, but the focus is much more linear, traveling straight around the room, rather than in a circular fashion. It also has much less of the characteristic "Rise and Fall" of Waltz. Foxtrot is an extremely useful dance socially and can be danced to a variety of jazzy musical styles. International Foxtrot is is the very technical style that is commonly seen in Ballroom Dance Competitions where couples remain ridged in the dance hold or "frame". American Style Foxtrot has a fun "theatrical" quality because the couples can open up to allow for spinning the women. A copy of the Dance-Rite Syllabus of Dance hard copy instruction manual and a music CD with 70 minutes of Salsa music is available for only $5.95 from the instructor after class. Only $9/person for a 1-1/2 hour dance lesson ($6 for students with current ID)

Ballroom Dance Instruction for the Waltz
Learn to dance the Waltz - Learn the
Progressive Three Count; the Box
Step, the Promenade; Balance Change
Steps; and Underarm Turns.
The
Waltz began in southern Germany in
the 17th century. Its popularity
grew with the music of Johann
Strauss. The Waltz eventually
blossomed and is now the basis for
many dances with its popularity all
over the world. The basic
components of the Waltz are walking
steps and side steps. A sentimental
elegant, and romantic dance, it is
characterized by movements of “rise
and fall” and body sway. A
distinctive move of the Waltz is the
Waltz Pendulum action. This is an
action that must be visible at any
competition level action comparable
with the movement of a bell clapper.
The Waltz must contain the right
level of up and down swing in
balance with the required spatial
movement. As in all dances, dancing
from the supporting foot is
essential. The moment when to start
rising from your supporting foot is
crucial in the Waltz. And there
should be lots of rotation. Only $9/person ($6 for students with current ID)

Tango
is earthy and dramatic. Although walking movements dominate, Tango walks, having
a "stalking" or "sneaking" character, are unlike the walks of other ballroom
dances. Movements are sometimes slow and slithery, and other times sharp
and staccato, such as a quick foot flick or a sharp head snap to promenade
position. Tango has the same counter clockwise flow of movement around the dance
floor, but with a lesser sense of urgency in comparison to the smoother and more
continuous ballroom dances. American Style Tango, especially at
highly-developed skill levels, makes great use of open and alternate dance
positions to further showcase Tango's dramatic nature.
