American Style Smooth – Foxtrot Gold Variations

Product Description

Shadow work is a recurring thread in this Foxtrot programme, appearing in turning, checking and rolling combinations. Chris Morris also connects quick open movement with a traveling contra check, and uses spirals, promenade locks and side-by-side grapevine movement to develop longer Gold variations.

The ten sequences offer different ways of linking actions: Open Free Turn continues to Same Foot Layout and Hesitation Roll, while Overturned Spirals lead to Man's Forward Ronde. Dancers studying American Smooth Foxtrot choreography can examine how these turns, shapes and shadow positions connect within the named combinations. This 1993 recording runs approximately 75 minutes.
