If you want to make this a 1-wall dance, then just leave out the 1/4 turn here as it will accommodate
Absolute Beginners on the Box Corners as they will always come back to the front of the room
• RESTART: When you come back to the front wall, on Wall 5, do the Forward and Backward walks and
restart the dance as he starts the next chorus of “Wait”
• ENDING: When you come back to the front wall the second time, after Wall 8, slide LF to the left
with open arms and brush RF next to left and pull arms in as the song ends here
• TIMING: Nightclub Foxtrot is often danced to V. Waltz music where you take a step on the 1
downbeat and brush on the 2/3 upbeats because of the tempo. Each count below is musically a 1-2-3 at 150bpm which amounts to 48 counts of music but we are only moving once per phrase, which makes 16 counts.
• STYLE: The music is Viennese Waltz but danced with a beginner rhythm for Nightclub Foxtrot, with a
gliding that looks and feels like ice skating. Let the body and arms sway with the music as the tide of
the ocean comes and goes.
• ALT MUSIC: Perfect by Ed Sheeran (slightly faster, great for glide box, restart on Wall 7)
• PRACTICE MUSIC: Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson (if you ignore the many restarts)
