Product Description
Christopher Hawkins and Hazel Newberry organise Natural Dancing Slow Foxtrot around the character of the dance, stance and two choreography groups. The basic group links six figures, including Feather Step, Reverse Turn, Feather Finish and Change of Direction. The advanced group adds thirteen figures, moving through fallaway and weave material to Outside Swivel, Promenade Pivot, Tele Spin and Throwaway Oversway.
The teaching description also identifies musicality, a breakdown of the steps, common problems and their solutions, and floorcraft. These elements allow students to consider the figures as part of a wider approach to dancing Slow Foxtrot. This is the individual Slow Foxtrot volume from the four-video Natural Dancing series, developed by the former World Professional Ballroom Champions for competitive dancers from beginner to medium advanced level. The contents below show the figures included in each group.
The basic group contains six named subjects, from Feather Step to Change of Direction. The advanced group has thirteen, including Natural Fallaway, Curved Feather, Outside Swivel, Promenade Pivot and Throwaway Oversway. These are separate groups within one Slow Foxtrot lesson, so a viewer can identify the section that matches the repertoire being studied without confusing the basic and advanced lists. Musicality and step breakdown connect the figure material with the programme’s broader teaching approach. Common problems and solutions and a floorcraft lesson then address subjects beyond the figure sequence itself. Christopher Hawkins and Hazel Newberry present this approximately 50-minute recording.
