The Quickstep

"Today's Ballroom Quickstep when mixed with Charleston was originally known as the Fast Foxtrot, however when the Fast Foxtrot was slowed down in music tempo, the faster version became known as the Quickstep. The dance consists of a closed dance hold dance position with almost a running base, hops, skips, flicks, points, crossing of the feet, kicks, etc. It is a very fun, lively, and dynamic dance."
