This intensive week is full of foxtrot music of different tempos and styles, and its variations.

This intensive week is full of foxtrot music of different tempos and styles, and its variations. That family of dance rhythms also covers numerous wonderful dance styles, among them foksi, fusku, slow foxtrot and quickstep – and, with a little variation, many more, especially the very best of them all: simply dancing by feel. 

So the week is spent analysing music, developing our shared feel-led dancing and getting to grips with the basics of the dance styles.
