Originally it was danced solo \u2013 away from the partner, but later became a partner dance. It was originally given the name \u201cQuick Time Fox Trot\u201d but eventually that name was changed to Quickstep. The dance traveled to England and was developed into the dance that we know today, and was standardized in 1927. In a basic form Quickstep is a combination of walks and chasses but in an advanced stage hops jumps &amp; many syncopations are utilized. It is an elegant and glamorous dance and body contact is maintained throughout the dance.<\/p><div class=\"read-more-text\"><p>The Quickstep music is written in 4\/4 time and should be played at a tempo of about 48 -\u00ad\u2010 52 measures per minute for examinations and competitions.<\/p><p>The Quickstep is a progressive and turning dance moving along the Line of Dance, utilizing Walks and Chasse movements. Rise and Fall, Sway and Bounce action are the basic characteristics of the International Style Quickstep.<\/p><p>Take advantage of our special introductory offer for new students, and take the first step towards realizing your ballroom dance goals.
