Thanks for watching. Foxtrot music is 4/4 timing which means there are 4 beats to 1 bar of music. A 'slow' is 2 beats and a 'quick' is 1 beat. Social foxtrot is actually a 4 step dance. Therefore the basic step counted as SSQQ is equal to 6 beats or 1 & 1/2 bars of music. This means dancing a forward basic and then a back basic will take 3 bars of music in total.

It seems odd to me that SSQQ,SSQQ is counted 123+,123+, while the music is counted 1234,1234. It's a three dance step over a four music. Does this seem odd to anyone else?
What is the song?

So. I get back to "start position" of basic pattern with every 4th bars of music. That makes sense. I really think I got it now. Thank you. .

This is soooo similar to the quickstep... The only different is the quick and slow really if I'm not mistaking.
