Quickstep

Quickstep is the fastest of the five Ballroom dances and is often avoided by beginners because of that, furthermore dancing teachers like to replace it with the easier and slower Foxtrot because of short course durations which make teaching this special dance very hard. Well in the 180 minutes of this course we have enough time to grant the Quickstep the time it deserves.
