International Foxtrot 


During the summer of 1914, actor Harry Fox was appearing in shows in New York with Yansci Dolly, in an act of Hammerstein's. People at the "Jardin de Danse" on the roof of the New York Theatre, soon started to copy the act that Harry was putting on downstairs, leading them to refer to the dance as "Fox's Trot".

The dance should flow, a very smooth dance - there should be no jerkiness. Timing - slow, quick, quick, slow. The dancers should drive off on the slow and let the quicks take care of themselves. Trotting steps, very up and down Fixed expressions on the faces of the dancers.

Basic movements of the foxtrot are, weave feather step, reverse and natural turns and lines should be clean and elegant. The dance also need to travel and cover most of the floor.
