What is Slow Foxtrot?
Just thinking about the Slow Foxtrot, the velvety voice of the inimitable Andy Williams begins to sound in my head. His imperishable hits forever entered the compilation of the best songs for one of the brightest, extravagant and gentle at the same time dances. Foxtrot combines the spirit of the jazz era of America of the 1920s and the atmosphere of European balls.
This is a dream dance! The dream of everyone who wants to master the ease, freedom of movement in a crowded room, a kind of dribbling, and incredible maneuverability. Continuous, smooth forward movement, sliding steps, lightness.
Slow Foxtrot is composed of fairly simple walking steps and is not difficult to learn how to dance.
