Foxtrot
Music: Danced in 4/4 timing, the music has 4 recurring, even beats. There is an accent on the first beat of each bar. The music is smooth, non-jerky and suggests a smooth movement and transfer of weight across the floor.
Characteristics: In its present form, the Foxtrot should be performed with smooth, continuous undulating movement. The rise and fall should not be as pronounced as the Waltz but still be apparent. Even though there is a progression from Social Foxtrot that is commonly danced at a faster pace, to a more continuous Foxtrot danced at a slower pace, there should always be a sense of a smooth, continuous movement around the floor.
