The origin of quickstep dance

Polka is a Czech national dance, which was recorded as early as 1825 and later spread to Paris, the capital of France. The famous dancer Ze Larius brought him to the salon and made a public appearance at 1840. To 1844 is popular all over the world, and it is comparable to waltz in the European dance world. The early quickstep and foxtrot were linked and spread to England. After the evolution of quickstep, it gradually developed into quickstep. At the beginning of the 20th century, it developed to 1924, and the Royal Society of Dance Teachers published the slow foxtrot and the quickstep, and then the quickstep was separated from the foxtrot. Therefore, the quickstep is to absorb the foxtrot and then introduce ballet to make the dance more agile.

The early quickstep dance was adapted from the American folk dance "P, E, E, PBODY", which absorbed the fast foxtrot and then introduced the little tricks of ballet to make the movements more agile and dexterous. The music is 4/4 beats, 50 bars per minute. The basic rhythms are slow and fast (SSQQ) and slow and fast and fast (SQQS). Style is characterized by liveliness, passion, free dance steps, full of motivation and expressiveness.

During the First World War, quickstep dance developed rapidly in the suburbs of new york. At first, it was only popular in the Caribbean and Africa. Later, American concert halls made their debut and immediately became popular in dance halls. Foxtrot and quickstep have the same origin. In the 1920s, many bands played the slow foxtrot very fast, which caused many people's complaints. Later, it developed into two different dances, the slow foxtrot slowed down, and the fast-paced dance became a fast version of foxtrot, with 48 bars per minute. Charleston has a far-reaching influence on the development of quickstep dance.
