THE first lesson on the Foxtrot, in 3Y A's "Modern Ballroom Dancing" series will be given by A. L. Leghorn at 9.30 p.m. on June 30. According to Mr. Leghorn, the Foxtrot first expressed the idea of dancing built upon natural movement, but the term is much misunderstood in that it may refer to the music, to the dance itself, or even to the Quickstep. Foxtrot music is used both for Foxtrot and Quickstep, but for the former it should be played at 30 bars to the minute, and for the latter at 46-48 bars a minute. Of the two dances the Foxtrot is the more exacting in that its long gliding movements are more sustained and the footwork generally is a little more difficult.
