Once you've gotten the basics down in group lessons, you're ready for some private lessons! You might notice that sometimes in class you end up on the wrong foot, on the wrong beat, or that things work out relatively smoothly in class but they never seem to work out as well when you're practicing in the club or in your living room. All those classes, and social dancing, are going to leave you with LOTS of questions. Take private lessons to get your questions answered! The truth is, even if you pay exceedingly close attention in your group lessons, there's no way you can get all your questions answered in class. A private lesson is the best way to get your particular issues resolved.

Foxtrot at the Ballroom
The origin of the Foxtrot dance is very straight forward. It originated in early 1914 in the Jardin de Danse on the roof of the New York Theatre. This was one of the largest theatres in the World and was being converted into a movie house. Between the shows the theater's management decided to try vaudeville acts and selected Harry Fox and his company of "American Beauties" to put on a dancing act. Harry Fox was doing trotting steps to ragtime music as part of his act, and people referred to his dance as "Fox's Trot."

Two for Tango
Two for Tango
The "authentic" tango is closest to the dance that originated in Argentina and Uruguay, though other types of tango have been developed and become mature dances in their own right. Ballroom tango is divided into the "International" (English) and "European" styles. These two styles developed when the tango first went abroad to Europe and North America. English Tango was first codified in October 1922, when it was proposed that it should only be danced to modern tunes, ideally at 30 bars per minute. As a result the English Tango has evolved into a highly competitive dance, while the American Tango has evolved into a social dance where the emphasis is on leading and following skills.
