Charmaine
The Charmaine is a graceful and elegant New Vogue foxtrot. Danced with a combination of shadow and classical holds, the sequence gives dancers lots of opportunities to expand their creative repertoire and explore body shape and non-standard timing. Featuring fluid changes of direction, leg lifts, swivels, and the rotary chasse, this dance is a definite step up from the beginner level sequences.
Learn the Charmaine at Long-Steps
Long-Steps currently teaches the Charmaine periodically during our Adult Classes and by Private Tuition.
Long-Steps teaches the Charmaine 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.
