PROMENADE WALK THROUGH
In the old fashion way, promenading with someone was to walk hand-in-hand in the same direction. So it is with the social foxtrot promenade walk through. The move starts (indicated by the lead) from promenade position:
The lead will indicate the position when on the "quick,quick" of the back basic by closing the feet pointing down the line of dance. At the same time using the right hand to slightly turn the follower to their right with the followers feet closed and also pointing down the line of dance.
LEAD FOLLOW
1. Small step forward with left foot down line of dance 1. Small step forward with right foot down line dance
2. Right foot forward passing left foot down line of dance 2. Left foot forward passing right foot down line of dance
3. Left foot, small step forward, passing right foot 3. Right foot, small step forward, passing left foot
turning to face follower turning to face lead
4. Close right foot to left foot keeping weight on right foot 4. Close left foot to right foot keeping weight on left foot
After dancing a promenade walkthrough it is normal to continue with a forward basic.
TIP
Providing there is sufficient room, it is normal to dance two promenade walkthroughs following each other. Also, this step can be used to turn to a new line of dance by curving the first two steps.
A useful pattern for the beginner would be 2 forward and back basics, followed by 1or 2 promenade walks (depending upon the size and shape of the dance floor) then back into forward and back basics.
