What Is the Foxtrot?

The foxtrot is a smooth ballroom dance known for its fluid motion, walking steps, and classic 4/4 timing. The foxtrot was originated by Harry Fox in 1914, and a bit of its early evolution shows how it became a significant part of American dance history. Think Frank Sinatra, jazz orchestras, and black-tie elegance — the foxtrot was built for confidence and charm.

In our foxtrot lessons, you’ll learn how to:

Dance in a smooth, gliding style with long, elegant steps

Master timing and rhythm in slow-slow-quick-quick sequences

Develop proper frame and connection with a partner

Build musicality and lead-follow coordination

Navigate turns, promenades, and floor movement

The foxtrot is often referred to as the ‘Rolls Royce’ of ballroom dances. It is one of the most versatile partner dances — a must-know for ballroom social events and formal dancing. The foxtrot can be danced to a variety of music styles and tempos, typically ranging from 120 to 136 beats per minute, making it highly adaptable and stylish on any dance floor.
