Foxtrot Basic

Learn how to dance the basic step in American Foxtrot with Lorena Bravo and Jonathan Atkinson. This step is the foundation for social foxtrot, so start here if you're just starting with ballroom dancing! The Foxtrot Basic is comprised of two walks, and a "chasse." A chasse is a series of two or three steps, where the feet close on the second step. In this case, we only use two steps. Generally speaking, the Foxtrot Basic is done with the leader dancing forward, and the follower dancing backwards, but on occasion it can be useful for the direction to reverse, resulting in the Back Basic. If you have any questions, please feel free to submit them in the comments section, and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Happy dancing!
