Dances We Love to Teach!
The Quick Step
The Quick Step is a fast fun dance that really moves. Usually danced to fast pace big band music, the Quick Step can best be describe as beginner Foxtrot with a little too much coffee. It's a dance that would seem a little difficult to a fresh beginner but to an intermediate Foxtrot dancer, Quick Step is a quick learning experience to get started. Its many maneuvers, graceful glides, and syncopated jumps may prove a little challenging, but rest assured, practice makes perfect. Due to its very long movements, the Quick Step requires a larger dance floor than most which is why you will not see it on the American syllabus. Therefore it is considered a more competitive dance. Nonetheless, the Quick Step is still one of the most fun and exciting of the Smooth dances, and definitely a must learn if you have the space to dance it.
