Learn 7 Foxtrot Steps for Beginners

*\(^o^)/*❤

How important is it that both partners are very familiar with each other and the steps that they are trying to do? I took lessons more than 40 years ago at a studio in Philadelphia. Linda Dean was my first teacher but her dance career took her to New York City and bigger things. I continued to have good teachers even went to Montreal for competition where I was entered into 3 dances over two years coming in first once and second twice.

Dancing in the studio parties in Philly I always had problems dancing with other students to the point where it frustrated me. I asked one member of the teaching staff what I was doing wrong.and the answer presented went something like this. While in Montreal you were dancing with a partner who taught you the steps you were taking and also was very familiar with you and how you performed those steps. At these studio parties you are dancing with other students who were not familiar with your movements and lead. You will do better the more you dance with other students because your leading skills will become stronger.

Does this make sense? Unfortunately I was unable to keep dancing but I always remember how easily it was to dance with my instructors and Linda in particular would move like a feather in a breeze.
Thanks for the memories.

Excellent

Thank you so much. Just 4 minutes in the video and you are super teachers. Love, love, love the method and the way you explain is the best! You are so cute together! Exactly what is needed to learn well. So glad to find you. Again thank you very much! Beautiful!

Im 70. I basically learned foxtrot with my dad in the 50s and 60s at many family weddings. My somewhat older cousins learned basic ballroom dance in PE. By the time I was in high school nobody knew a basic waltz but just sway not even box step which I also learned dancing with elderly relatives. I watch todays weddings and just shake my head. Sigh.

That's really excellent and enjoyable!

Love love love your way of teaching!,,

I suggest mentioning that in the dip, the follower should protect herself (and the Leader's back) by supporting herself with her feet/legs. Meaning, she should be almost able to do the dip by herself. The Leader merely provides additional support for the dip and more support in bring her up. The follower should NOT plunge too eagerly backwards.

She's beautiful.

Excuse me，Which city are you in? It's more convenient to study face to face.

Subscribed right away due to very clear instructions

Great teaching video!

slow,slow.quick,quick.Wonderful!(^^)

Hi Brian and Megan, We're big fans of ALL your different websites and really enjoy ALL your lessons provided. In particular, we greatly appreciate your easy to understand and thorough descriptions of the different moves and routines. The individual moves are easy to remember and yet, combine into wonderful patterns that are practical but still have the "WOW" factor on a social dancefloor. Just wanted to know if you could perhaps provide some other dip options (maybe a separate video?) for women that don't enjoy being dipped so extremely. Thanks so much and looking forward to all your future dance videos!!!

Brilliant instructions, thank you

To clarify, is this a 6 count dance move for 8 count music, like east coast swing?

There are so many dance videos out there, yours stand out for clarity and instruction

I appreciate that you guys aren't from NYC.

Ohje ... wenn man vom Tanzen keine Ahnung hat ...

Love this a nd all of your videos!

You are so great at explaining ! Thank you !!!!!!

What dance goes with 4/4 somgs

I just don’t like that high right hand for the leader.

It just looks less familiar/intimate/passionate with your partner to me.

Very nice step that I needs to learn👍Thank you 🥳👍🙏👏

Half way through the video I noticed that I was watching it at 2x playback speed. No wonder I couldn't keep up :D
