Learn How To Foxtrot
Forward driving steps are taken with the heel first in contact with the floor, with the toe lowering as the body moves over it. Backwards walks arealmost always taken with the toe first, with the heel lowering as the body moves over it. At the same time, the toe of the forward foot should release from the floor as the body moves away. Side steps normally use the toe first.
The rise and fall action is present in the majority of the patterns of the Foxtrot using a consistent 3-step cycle, although it is still more subtle than in the Waltz, owing to the continuous passing of the feet in
a lengthwise manner.
Below is a step-by-step guide to doing the basic steps as well as the other components of the Foxtrot.
