Foxtrot


Developed in the 1910s, the foxtrot reached its height of popularity in the 1930s and is still practiced today. It is a smooth and progressive dance characterized by long and continuous flowing movements across the dance floor. It is danced to big band music and is similar in its look to waltz, although the rhythm is in a 4/4 time signature. The basic figures include the three-step, feather step, natural turn, reverse turn, closed impetus, and feather finish. Standard figures would include the natural and basic weave, closed and open telemark, hover feather, hover telemark, hover cross, open impetus, and reverse wave.
