Foxtrot Basic Step

At this point you have learned the basic step in Foxtrot, Waltz, Rumba and Swing. I'll give the directions from the guy's perspective. Ladies, you will follow with the opposite foot.

Forxtrot – Step, Step, Side-Step. Counted as Slow, Slow, Quick-Quick

Guys travel forward two steps and then to the left side. Walk this as forward, forward, side together. Keep you forward steps natural, 

Your left foot travels straight forward and you land first on your heel. Your right travels straight forward and passes you left foot. Again you land on the heel of you right foot. The two forward steps are followed by a side step. With your left foot travel forward and to the left then bring your right foot to join your left foot.

Ladies, you will use the same pattern, only you will travel backwards with a right, left, side together.

That completes the step. Keep repeating this pattern. We will add a new Foxtrot step in lesson three.
