The Quickstep is a fun party dance that originated as a fast version of the Foxtrot. Originally called QuickTime, it includes elements of the Charleston.
In this 47-minute video dance class, you’ll learn the basic elements of Quickstep with a common group of figures that you can use to dance around the room by simply joining the end of the group back to the beginning.
