The International Quickstep is a fun and energetic progressive dance. The quickstep originally evolved from the foxtrot, but has developed into a separate and lively dance with lots of movement across the dance floor. At higher levels, the quickstep has unique, advanced patterns including hops and runs. Quickstep music has the fastest tempo of all ballroom dances. Syncopated steps are also very common, giving the quickstep the appearance of being even faster.

​

Quickstep is often danced at ballroom parties and social events, ballroom dance competitions, and performances such as Dancing with the Stars.
