Carousel

The Carousel is a beautiful New Vogue sequence. With turns, shapes, changes of hold, and the carousel figure itself featuring at the heart of the dance, this is a popular intermediate level dance. The dance features no rotary chasses, and has a graceful progression through its figures. This allows dancers to immerse themselves in the feel of foxtrot and gradually stylize the dance with body shaping, and arm movements. The Carousel is a comfortable step up from the more entry level dances, and a great prelude into the more advanced routines.

Learn the Carousel at Long-Steps

Long-Steps currently teaches the Carousel periodically during our Adult Classes and by Private Tuition.

Long-Steps teaches the Carousel according to a combination of Russ Hesketh’s New Vogue Championship Dances (6th Ed.) and Neville Boyd’s New Vogue Sequence Dancing and the Viennese Waltz.
