This lens is here to provide you with a little information on the Foxtrot, and a lot of options for viewing and purchasing Foxtrot music and dance lessons. I am providing a number of different options at different price points. I hope you will find the exact product and information you are looking for.

The Foxtrot is a genre of ballroom dance that has its roots in vaudeville. It was originally danced to ragtime music.

The basic timing of the Foxtrot is 4/4. The downbeat occurs on the first beat of the measure. The music rises in a crescendo from the first to the fourth beats, diminishing halfway through the fourth beat. Foxtrots have a general range of 28 to 34 measures per minute, with 30 to 33 measures per minute being the best for social dancing.

The Foxtrot was developed in the summer of 1914 by vaudeville actor Harry Fox, who was doing dance numbers between shows at a movie house in New York.
