Our Foxtrot Dance Classes In Toronto cover this social (partner) dance style which is generally credited as having come from the US in the early 1900s. It looks similar to a waltz, but is generally danced to big band music on a completely different timing that Waltzes and over time a faster Foxtrot dance version developed into what is now the Quickstep.
As with all Latin & Ballroom styles, Foxtrot has a more casual American style and a more formal International style which is performed in dancesport competitions. The American style is significantly easier to learn, but the International style is far more refined and elegant.
PRIVATE LESSONS
- If you want to become a great dancer or progress more quickly than the norm, private classes will get you there. We have many of the best teachers in the city who are not only amazing dancers (often at national or international levels), but also make it easy and fun to learn. If anyone can take you farther, faster than you though possible, it’s these dance teachers.
WHAT TO WEAR
For beginner classes, just wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Women may want to wear heels, but this is not required and height should be limited to at most 2″ or they will make it significantly harder for you to learn.
As you get more serious, you may want to invest in a proper set of ballroom dance shoes. These are designed to allow freedom of movement, while also subtly guiding your body’s mechanics into the proper form. Latin dance shoes will generally be soled in suede leather to allow turns and spins more easily.
