Many thanks. I appreciate all your lessons. Is it true to say that there are 2 FOXTROTS: Slow Foxtrot and Foxtrot . Each has different counting ( Slow Foxtrot:: slow quick quick; Foxtrot: slow slow qucik quick ) ? Foxtrot is easier to learn than Slow Foxtrot.

There are 3 kinds of Foxtrot- social or rhythm foxtrot which is the easiest for beginners (SSQQ), International style Slow Foxtrot, American style Foxtrot. The latter two are more complicated dances and the step patterns have many different rhythms, not just SQQ, or SSQQ, or QQS, etc.

@Santor6 Hahaha, no, the 'metal' doesn't signify their dance anniversary. It actually represents different levels of difficulty in the ISTD International Style dancing syllabus. Bronze is the 1st level (beginner level), Silver the 2nd and Gold the 3rd. They are known as medals and there are medal examinations for those who want an idea of how well they are dancing. You have to progress one level at a time. Hope this helped to clear up your confusion! :D

To find out more about Foxtrot styles, you could try researching by these names: The Slow Foxtrot (the basic is timed as S,Q,Q; also called the International Foxtrot, 4-count foxtrot, and British Foxtrot); The Social Foxtrot (the basic is timed as S,S,Q,Q,; also called the American Foxtrot and 6-count foxtrot) and Foxtrot Slow Dance (also called Slow Dance Foxtrot, the basic is timed as S,S,S,S and forms a box using 8 steps rather than the 6 steps used in the Slow Foxtrot).

Could somebody explain what is that "metal" in comments? Eg silver, bronze, gold? Is this is some secret meaning? I see only beginners steps. Nothing gold. Maybe this is silver that they 20 years dancing together? I don't understand. Or this is silver for retirement people that can't do any better.

I think he does it on purpose. The term my coach used for it is "sway," and it's meant to break away from the beat to lend additional grace.
