Waltz & Foxtrot

This concentrated class will give students a fantastic variety of waltz and foxtrot, two of the three smooth dances of ballroom. The Waltz was the first music to be written in 3/4 timing. Most Waltzes were originally written for the church. The three beats in a measure were to represent the Holy Trinity. The Foxtrot originated in the summer of 1914 by Vaudeville actor Harry Fox. The New York Theater was converted into a movie house, and the theater’s management decided to try Vaudeville acts between the shows. Harry Fox was doing trotting steps to ragtime music, and that is how Fox’s Trot was born.
