Bronze Foxtrot
This Bronze routine is much more complex than the Beginner Foxtrot Routine, and is intended for dancers who are comfortable enough with their own dancing that they can begin to dance more complex combinations. This routine is the Gold Standard of Foxtrot, and while it is easy to learn, it is hard to master. Even world class professional couples dance large portions of this routine as it is written below to show off how good their basic actions are.
