@DanniSalsero Thanks for watching. Foxtrot music is 4/4 timing which means there are 4 beats to 1 bar of music. A 'slow' is 2 beats and a 'quick' is 1 beat. Social foxtrot is actually a 4 step dance. Therefore the basic step counted as SSQQ is equal to 6 beats or 1 & 1/2 bars of music. This means dancing a forward basic and then a back basic will take 3 bars of music in total.

[@FIFISQN]

What is the song? 3:00 Who Knows?

[@Jeka036]

what's the name of the song in the end when they dance!?

[@SCOREDenver]

"One" from the musical "Chorus Line"

[@PHJimY]

It seems odd to me that SSQQ,SSQQ is counted 123+,123+, while the music is counted 1234,1234. It's a three dance step over a four music. Does this seem odd to anyone else?

[@johnfoy2840]

Yes. That always drove me crazy too. I've since learned that almost all dance moves repeat themselves after SIX beats - whether logical or not. And remember a "slow" beat counts out as two beats and a "quick" beat counts out as one beat. i.e. So, those first two slow beats actually fill up one entire measure of music. The next two quick beats bring you to the middle of the second measure of music. Mathematically, you will be back at the beginning again after three measures. I hope that helps.
