Cape Ballroom Friday Night Dance with Foxtrot Lesson
Friday, October 4th – 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
“Foxtrot is the dance of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. This smooth and elegant dance had its beginnings in a New York theater. There, Harry Fox began dancing a series of trotting steps to ragtime music. It evolved to incorporate the walking and brush steps that made this dance so popular. Foxtrot is danced to music with a 4/4 time signature and has two rhythms: slow-slow-quick-quick and slow-quick-quick.” (from Ballroom Dance Academy)
Just $5 per person at the door, cash only. No bills over $20 please. Doors open at 6:45pm.
The evening begins at 7:00 p.m. with a 30-minute dance lesson, followed by dancing to mixed ballroom music. Line dances are included.
