In 1913, Harry Fox, a vaudeville performer, introduced a trot in the 1913 Ziegfeld Follies that pushed other trots into the background. It became America's most popular dance and remains so to this day as the standard of social dances.
Fox Trot is a dance composed of walking steps and side steps which is adaptable for a small dance floor or large ballroom. Fox Trot music is written in 2/4 or 4/4 time.
