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."
