Art In Motion – Slow Foxtrot explores the movement principles developed by Luca & Loraine Baricchi for International Standard ballroom dancing, with a specific focus on Slow Foxtrot.
The program begins with the fundamentals of stance, posture, poise, body mechanics, balance, weight transfer, and the coordination of the upper and lower body. These concepts are then applied to a series of Slow Foxtrot figures and combinations, helping dancers understand how technique influences movement quality, continuity, and partnership.
Designed for intermediate and advanced dancers, this instructional video provides a structured approach to refining movement mechanics and developing greater harmony throughout the dance.
