Foxtrot

• The Foxtrot was introduced into the mainstream in
  1913 by a man named Harry Fox. It ultimately
  became the most popular and lasting dance of the
  twentieth century.

Ballroom Closed Position
31
Foxtrot

• Foxtrot is a smooth progressive dance
  characterized by long, continuous flowing
  movements across the dance floor. The American
  style version of the Foxtrot takes many forms
  The Bronze level Foxtrot, truest to the original
  Harry Fox version, is a simple combination of
  walks and chasses ideal for social dancing.

Ballroom Promenade Position
32
Foxtrot

• Foxtrot is extremely versatile and can be danced
  to a variety of musical styles and tempi. In
  competition, however, it is danced to 4/4 big
  band (usually vocal) music at a tempo of 30 to 34
  measure per minute in Bronze, 29 to 30 measures
  per minute in Silver and above levels.

Outside Partner (Right)
33
Waltz

• Waltz is a smooth progressive dance characterized
  by long, flowing movements, continuous turns, and
  rise fall. Graceful and elegant, Waltz dancers
  glide around the floor almost effortlessly. At
  28-30 measures per minute, the tempo is slow at
  best, but the expressive quality of the music
  often invites very powerful and dynamic movement
  from dancers.

34
Waltz

• When first introduced into the English ballrooms
  in the early 1800's, the Waltz was denounced by
  both church and state for its vulgarity and
  immorality... this was, after all, the first time
  society had seen this outrageous dance position,
  with the man holding the lady so close to his
  body. But the very thing that brought it such
  criticism also made it appealing, and the Waltz
  was here to stay.

35
Waltz

• Waltz is by its very definition a form of music
  in 3/4 meter. The first beat of each measure is
  dominant with a strong downbeat accent, while
  beats two and three are lighter.
  Characteristically, Slow Waltz music is sweet,
  melodic and fluid. It is often orchestral music,
  mostly lacking in heavy percussion or drums,
  relying more on the melodic instruments to carry
  the rhythmic progression. The music can be vocal
  or instrumental.

36
Tango

• In the late 19th century, Buenos Aires was filled
  with immigrants from Europe and Africa, many of
  whom found themselves lonely and looking for
  companionship in their new foreign habitat.
• Naturally, these forlorn people found their way
  to the portenos, seeking drinks to drown their
  sorrows, temporary friendship, and any
  entertainment to help distract their depressed
  feelings. The variety of cultures combined to
  bring about a new style of music, formed from
  African beats, Indian rhythms, Latin influences,
  and the popular music of the pampas (flatlands)
  in Argentina.

37
Tango

• As you may guess, this new music was dubbed
  Tango. Historians argue the name comes from the
  African candombe drum beat known as "tan-go", or
  possibly from Latin word tangere (to touch). The
  dance began as a pantomime of communication
  between prostitute and pimp. The improvisation
  was filled with emotional outpouring and
  suggestive gyration. This sexual choreography was
  accented by the melancholy drone of the
  bandoneon, a German instrument very similar to
  the accordion.

38
Tango

• Throughout the tangos evolution, two things
  remained constant the background music of the
  bandoneon, and the passionate translation of
  emotions into dance.

Cha Cha

• Cha Cha is a rhythmical Latin dance which
  originated in the 1940's as a modified form of
  Mambo. It's fun, energetic, sexy and flirtatious,
  easily distinguished from other dances by its
  addictive "Step, Step, Cha Cha Cha" rhythm.
• Cha Cha is either danced to authentic Latin
  music, or more contemporary Latin Pop or Rock.
  The music is energetic and with a steady beat.
