Quickstep Please Step Quickly Out of My Life

The last ballroom dance I learned this semester was called Quickstep. I came into class about 20 minutes late because I could not find parking. So when I finally got there I was really confused. Everyone had already learned a couple of combinations. I just found a spot and started doing what they were doing.

I think as far as dances go this is just as bad as the Waltz was to me. There are a lot of technical body movements that go along with the feet. It's just awkward and weird to learn at the same time. Plus there is a lot of galloping involved which also means alot of steping on toes. Not fun for my partner nor I. I think I'll leave this dance to the professionals. Here is an example of what quickstep should look like after lots of practice (video taken from youtube from user latus.)
