The quickstep is a light-hearted member of the standard ballroom dances. The movement of the dance is fast and powerfully flowing and sprinkled with syncopations, hops and runs. The upbeat melodies that quickstep is danced to make it suitable for both formal and informal events. Quickstep was developed in the twenties in New York, then standardized in England by 1927. Its origins are in slow Foxtrot combined with the Charleston and Peabody.
You can learn to dance the Quickstep either in private dance lessons or as part of our group dance classes easily accessible from North York, Scarborough, Markham and Toronto.
