American Smooth – Silver Foxtrot Variations

Product Description

Waltz-derived actions dominate the opening group of this Foxtrot programme: an open right turn, twinkle connections, open fallaway, progressive twinkles and a syncopated Viennese cross turn. Jim and Jenell Maranto show how these ideas can be incorporated into American Style Foxtrot, connecting Waltz, Tango and Viennese Waltz actions with Foxtrot routine development.

The second group adds Tango and Viennese Waltz material, including Oversway & Rondé, Swivel Fans and a Reverse Underarm Turn. Demonstrations follow each five-figure group. The accompanying technical material covers on footwork, positions, connection, shaping, hip action and arm styling. At approximately 85 minutes, this Silver recording offers both a defined variation repertoire and technical context for studying it.
