Tel: 707.761.5214    Hours: Monday-Thursday 6-10pm and by appointment

Time Signature:  4/4 timing
Tempo:  128-136 BPM for American and 112-120 BPM for International. 
Music Style:  40’s style Singer Standard/Big Band type with a little swing to it. 

Character:  Long, smooth strides with gentle rise and fall to it that travel around the ballroom. Elements of contra-body movement, sway and continuity are also important. Think a’la Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire; suave and smooth!

Where you can use it:  Wherever Big Band/Singer Standard music is played. Sometimes these types of bands are hired for weddings, but you can always find Foxtrots being played at a ballroom.
