BIG FINISH – Easy and Cool
The song ends as you do the forward ½ pivot hold to 12:00. Create a TaDa pose on the hold (ct 8).

Styling suggestion: On the holds, continue or finish the movement. This will give your foxtrot a smooth gliding feel

Trivia: Harry Fox, an American entertainer in the early 1900’s may be credited for the foxtrot, originally called Fox’s Trot.
