To teach the Slow Foxtrot - a danced derived from Ragtime music adapted by the British which became a much smoother affair having all the jerks, kicks and capers ironed out to become the King of the Ballroom. We will work on improving the sharpness of the Tango and its unique body hold and the romantic Latin Rumba dance working to control the hip action which is needed to develop the style aspect of the dance.

• Foxtrot: Slow Rhythm, Feather Step, Reverse Turn, Three Step, Natural Turn and Natural Weave,
• Rumba: Fan, Hockey Stick, Progressive Walks, Side Steps and Cucarachas,
• Tango: Natural Turn with Rock Ending, Four Step, Brush Step and Natural Twist.

You will practice dancing the steps in groups then with a partner and then to music. There will be no work outside the class but you will be given handouts regarding the steps taught, so will be able to practice the steps at home.
