This was very easy to understand. I don't see why some people downvoted this.

[@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118]

@Gregg Lebovitz oh. I didn't know.

[@SolarSeaSlug]

Super helpful! Not actually dancing myself, but using this as a reference for something I'm writing, where a character teaches another how to dance in preparation for a ball. Thanks!

Very clear; both dancers have beautiful postural alignment & that nice smooth gliding step that's the hallmark of the Foxtrot. Advantage for the student: the couple demonstrates the basic pattern from 3 angle/ points of view. Calm, no unnecessary verbalization, very professional. Male & female parts show individually...again: clarity.

[@DuyTran-xo5vu]

Thanks for showing us the dace from different angles. Really helped me learn!

[@Passion4dancing]

Glad it was helpful!

I requested Tony Bennet, and foxtrotted with a girl to him. Thanks for your lessons! I nailed it!

[@Krl03]

Easy to understand, thanks! Reason the Great Gatsby, and Jay does a fox-trot... looked up what it was and here I am!

[@tonykatchong4633]

Hi Leon and Kim I enjoy learning the fox trot from both of you on line as your steps are so easy to follow.

Beautiful instructions. Thank you.

[@richmcdonoughgroup1832]

Leon, you should wear thin pants as the bell bottom pants make it more difficult to see your footwork

[@Passion4dancing]

Yes we stopped that. thanks!

Thank you.

Omg that dress! 😻

Foxtrot = 4/4. Most videos offer basic shacks like this: slow - slow - fast fast. And this is 3/4. That is, the rhythm of the Waltz. It’s very difficult to dance 3/4 when music is 4/4

[@scubasteve2189]

That’s the point. It’s supposed to be slightly off the bars of music. It makes it look more elegant and sweeping since the steps don’t line up to the beats. The foxtrot itself is 3 beats. It’s not 4/4. Again, this is by design. It is designed to be danced to 4/4 songs, though, so the beats don’t line up. If you don’t believe me, go watch literally every foxtrot video and count the beats. As for it being difficult, it’s actually not. You just need to forget about the 4/4 beat of the music, and focus on the steps and your partner. Just get carried away by the steps and forget everything else.

[@alyssaerich8835]

Thank you, I actually was able to learn from y'all!

[@gregorylay3333]

Nice video, it would be easier to see what the man is doing if his pants were tailored correctly and not so baggy.

[@nearlynormal6987]

Very good videos. Keep it up! Excellent explanation. Many videos on KZbin complicate things too much and there's lots of fancy stuff. Question: in the open position, and the "close" at the end of one basic movement, you seem to be in a knees-bent crouchy position. Is that normal?

[@Passion4dancing]

Normally the knees would be slightly bent through out. That is the correct technique.

[@loxzy6021]

so good. lets goooo, its me dababy

[@ernestgodin4025]

very Good

[@paolosilverfox2797]

Hi Leon and Kim . . . great lesson, thank you! I'd love to know what the piece of music is that you're using for this video please? Thank Paolo

[@shaishaulov4315]

[@kpeck667]

[@Lustfulloser]

The memories of when i had to dance i hated it cus there wasnt enough boys so i had to dance with no one

[@nader8757]

I think this is similar to Argentine tango.

[@user-kn1xe2be5i]

😊

[@angobansoar8174]

Ooh lord, Kim is a babe ;-)

[@jeffwendaledizon5645]

Name of music plss🥺

[@You-uq3hk]

what song??

[@josesuarez3320]

At :10 seconds you don’t teach the slight corner turn in your video

[@LazlosPlane]

Very confused. Some vids have the beat/steps as SLOW-QUICK-QUICK-SLOW- QUICK-QUICK...

[@Passion4dancing]

Hi Lazlo, Thanks for the question. The answer is: it depends on the figure you are doing.... This is the basic step of the American smooth foxtrot - and uses the S,S,Q,Q timing. There is also the box step figure which uses S, Q, Q timing as well as many others.

[@lisettevanaken86]

Be. Go

[@essveeentertainment2351]

We had to do this at my high school for Senior Dance.... I had a pretty white girl with blue eyes as a dance partner and her breath always stanked. Kinda made her less pretty 🤣
