Video: Learn to Dance the Social Foxtrot

Curriculum

This course is over an hour long. The program is broken into multiple parts to help make it easy for you to work on the individual figures.

Introduction (length 1:14)
In this lesson we give a quick overview of the dance.

Music and Structure (length 11:10)
We want to start you off on the right foot (see what we did there) by going over the music of Foxtrot and the basics of how we move forward and back in this dance.

Basic Walks (length 8:56)
The Foxtrot is generally a “walking dance,” which means that the movement is based on walking actions. We show you the basic forward and back walks that form the foundation of the dance.

Promenade (length 7:30)
Often danced poorly, we show you the correct technique for moving into Promenade Position and dancing the Closed Promenade figure.

Lady’s Underarm Turn (length 9:29)
In this lesson you'll learn the Lady’s Underarm Turn, also known as the Promenade Underarm Turn.

The Side Step (length 3:55)
This figure, also referred to as the Sway, is recommended after a Lady’s Underarm Turn, due to the turning momentum that step creates.

Left Rock Turn (length 5:53)
The final lesson covers a versatile figure that lets you move elegantly around obstacles on the floor, or to turn the corner.
