Foxtrot

Ok, the foxtrot is harder than it looks. But the music is awesome, and the "feather step" is really cool, provided you can do it with a modicum of grace. That's about all I managed, a modicum. Here are some great foxtrot songs: September In The Rain (Brenda Lee) I Had Someone Else Before I Had You (Damita Jo) I Don't Know Enough About You (Peggy Lee) By the way, trying to figure out ballroom dance steps from written instructions is darned near impossible. The directions only make sense after you already know what to do. I've never believed in writing down movement; there are so many subtleties, the only complete way to record it is visually. There is some value in writing down choreography, but only inasmuch as it reminds you of the movement. I don't believe that the spirit of a dance can be captured on paper. (Which is an odd thing to say, given that I'm writing about dance! But notice, no paper....)
