Discofox
The all-rounder for any dance floor: discofox fits almost any song and is quickly learned. With it you need never be a bystander at a party again.
The all-rounder for any dance floor
Discofox is the most practical of all dances: it fits almost any song in four-four time, from pop to rock to German Schlager. With it you need never again be a bystander at a party, a wedding or a dance evening. That universal usefulness makes discofox perhaps the most valuable dance you can learn – once you have it, you can always use it.
Quickly learned
The great advantage of discofox is its simple underlying structure. The basic step can be learned in a single hour, and with that alone you can move confidently across a dance floor. If you like, you add turns and figures over time, but even with the basic step you are well equipped. That short learning curve makes discofox ideal for anyone who wants to be dancing soon.
No more standing at the edge
Many people avoid dance floors because they don’t know how to move. Discofox takes away that hesitation: with a few basic steps in your pocket you dare to join in, and the feeling of being able to dance changes how you experience any party. A class gives you the steps and, along with them, good people to practise with.
The dance for every party
Discofox is the most pragmatic of all partner dances: it fits almost any music between 100 and 140 beats per minute, needs little space and works at every wedding, company party and village fair. That makes it the best investment for occasional dancers. The basic step sits within one evening, and three or four figures are enough to carry a whole party without repeating yourself.
Tips for getting started
- Learn the basic step securely first – it will already carry you through almost any song.
- Leading means indicating clearly but gently; following means responding attentively.
- Practise to different songs – discofox fits almost anything in four-four time.
- A class gives you the steps and practice partners in one.
