  • This is the first video for the Beginner Ballroom group class we teach at Ballroom Dance Chicago.
    Here we have our dance instructors, Lydia and Matthew, teaching the basic steps of Foxtrot: the traveling basic and the left rock turn. This ballroom dance is named after Vaudeville actor Harry Fox in 1914. The Foxtrot originated on the roof of the New York Theatre where Harry Fox was trotting to ragtime music, which people then referred to as “Fox’s Trot”. The dance became the most significant development of ballroom for its flexible use of quick and slow steps to a 4/4 rhythm.
    About Us:
    Ballroom Dance Chicago specializes in wedding dance lessons, private ballroom and Latin dance lessons and BYOB group classes. While we have become known for preparing couples for the first dance at their wedding, we also work extensively with individuals and couples interested in learning to dance socially.
