Anyone who has watched a dance competition knows that couples can clear a room when dancing in earnest. Dancers who do the Foxttrot have noted that there are an unusual number of variations that can be performed. For some, it is the hardest of the ballroom dance series. It is not uncommon for a dance team to espouse this one dance alone, making it their specialty. Several versions of the Foxtrot exist.
Faster foxtrots turn into Swing and Jitterbug.
A fast Foxtrot known as a One Step is today the Quickstep, and faster version of the original set to waltz music. The Foxtrot itself can be known as the Peabody and the Roseland Foxtrot. The Foxtrot has a reputation for being an incredibly social dance, because of these variations and their popularity. To learn the Foxtrot, check out local dance studios, or call nearby colleges for a teacher. Certain ballroom dancing series classes will also offer this dance.
