The International Foxtrot is a smooth and progressive dance characterized by long, continuous flowing movements across the dance floor. The smooth, gliding motion of the foxtrot requires effort from the dancer to produce, giving the foxtrot the reputation of being the most difficult ballroom dance to execute well. Rhythmic variation within the foxtrot is used to make up for the loss of variety in figures and positions.

​

Foxtrot is popular at a variety of social events, including wedding receptions. It can also be a competitive ballroom dance, and can often be seen in performances such as Dancing with the Stars.
