@BBoneck The song is actually called 'Lean Baby' don't know who recorded this version but if you look through the Ultimate Ballroom Cd Catalogue I'm sure you'll find it.
The only component I'm not getting is what he calls the "back feather". For the life of me, it simply looks like three backsteps and doesn't appear to have the curve of the forward feather. It could just be my eyesight and the fact that my eyes are now as much in sad decline as the rest of me!
For a better example of a reverse feather look at HILTON BASIC FOXTROT on youtube at time interval 0.38/9, this couple in my opinion were the best exponents of the Slow Foxtrot.
I don't know if you are a guy or a gal, but when the man is going backwards the chick has to lead. What really annoys me is that some women try to lead on other dances ( very off-putting for man as he is using head-space to stop her leading, plus it feels ghastly) but when it IS their turn to lead in the foxtrot... yup, they don't!
He is indeed the best. However, even he cannot present the SF as being anything other than the horrendously difficult dance that it is. If anyone ever tries out on you that old line, "If you can walk, you can Foxtrot", please punch him or her in the mouth and send me the bill for any damages.
does anyone know the music and song that is with this video dance?

If you look at 0.52/53 and 1.16/7 time intervals , you will see the man travels outside the woman and not in line that is the back feather.

_ ha1 Ha! you've got that right--it is an incredibly difficlt dance , but there is no more sophisticated dance than a slow fox.
It's difficult but all dance should be fun to learn. Probably more than any dance this needs constant practice or you lose it!
