The Foxtrot is by far the most common ballroom dance in the world.
This dance originated in the United States in 1913 when a Vaudeville stage
performer named Harry Fox invented a ‘trot’ in his act. Soon, it was being
copied and taught in New York Dance studios, from which it spread to the
rest of the world.
The Foxtrot revolutionized ballroom dance and was also a huge leap
forward for ballroom dance technique, as it was the first dance to incorporate
both Slow (two beat) and quick (one beat) steps.
Considered by many to be the most challenging dance to learn, the
International Style Bronze syllabus only includes 8 Bronze level figures.
How then is this the most common ballroom dance?
In American Style ballroom dancing ‘social dance’ figures are
included in the Foxtrot Bronze Syllabus. As a result, a recent Arthur Murray
syllabus lists !31! Bronze level figures. While it is a general rule that
American Style includes more figures than International, the main difference
is that ‘Social dance’ Foxtrot figures in International style are called ‘Social
Rhythm Dancing’ rather than ‘Foxtrot’.
At levels beyond this ‘social dance’ level, the American and
International style techniques of Foxtrot becomes identical for the figures
that they share in common.
Fred Astaire is most famous for his wonderful Foxtrot’s, and his
movie performances set the standard for what has since become the
American Style Foxtrot. Because of its American origins and Fred
Astaire’s dance films the American Style Foxtrot has had a much greater
impact on International Foxtrot than vice-versa.
