Styled as a Slow Foxtrot so, line dancers, let’s see graceful, flowing movements across
the dance floor. Some sway and rise and fall.
Step Long Step Left, Hold, Rock Back Right Recover; Step Long Step Right, Hold,
Cross ¼ Turn Left
1-4 (sqq)Long step to left side, hold, rock back on right behind left, recover weight forward on left
Ideally step one should be onto the ball of the left to raise the body ready for the fall
on the step behind
5-8 (sqq) Long step right to right side, hold, cross step left over right, ¼ turn left stepping back on right
¼ Turn Left, Hold, Rock Right Forward, Recover, Half Turn Right, Hold, Rock
Left Forward, Recover Back on Right

recover weight back on left (starting half turn right)

25-28 (sqq) (Moving slightly forward) Step left diagonally forward across right (2 O’clock), hold
(whilst sliding right to left), step right to right side, step left to left side (facing 10 O clock)
Remember that the Foxtrot twinkle (like that of the Waltz) should feature a
rise and fall –heel toe toe
29-32 (qqqq) Rock forward on right (to 2 O’clock), recover weight back on left starting to turn to 3 O’clock wall)
(67º) Complete right turn (to 3 O’clock wall) stepping right long step to right side,(weight firmly on right with
hips slightly to right) slide left to touch beside right (weight on right)
Note
:- Steps 1-5 and 31-32 (at least) should provide the opportunity to sway – a typical Foxtrot movement
On Wall 8 music appears to slow down on count 17- 27( facing 3 o’clock wall), just dance to the usual
tempo (you will pick it up) and you will end facing the home wall on count 32 with 8 beats of music left.
Why not End dance
1-4 (sqq)Long step to left side, hold, rock back on right behind left, recover weight forward on left
5-8 (sqq) Long step right to right side, hold, cross rock left over right, recover weight back on right
(no 1/4 left turn so as to end facing the home wall)
Start again, Enjoy……….
