    That was one of my very favorite songs. Wonderful Foxtrot...

      Don't know about the foxtrot, but I've always liked this song.

    I can't tell you how many times my little professional ballroom dancer feet immediately start to choreograph that song. I can visualize sitting on the floor with my dance partner, both of us equipped with paper and pencil, counting off the measures, and plugging in the steps.

    Lovely!

      Anything beyond a box step and I'm two left feet. I started to learn West Coast Swing a while back, but that's a story for another time...

    Don't knock the box step. It's the basic step for fox trot, waltz, and samba.

    I can remember a few students that were so bad, I'd have to draw a box on the dang floor with chalk. I kid you not!!! They were usually the same ones who couldn't hear the boom shush shush of a waltz. I'd have them put their hands on top of speakers so they could feel it.

    West Coast swing is not easy so don't be hard on yourself. The count is a bit weird at first. The triple step (1&2 3&4) is not exactly evenly spaced. In other words the &2 are closer together than the 1 &. It's sort of like playing triplets on the drums.
