Fast Waltz **** ***** MUSIC: fast 3/4 RHYTHM: quick , quick, quick (QQQ) PHRASE: 2 measures of 3 even beats each = 6 even beats, first beat of measure slightly emphasized Slow Waltz **** ***** MUSIC: slow 3/4 RHYTHM: slow, slow, slow (SSS) slight emphasis of first beat in each measure PHRASE: 6 even beats, first beat of measure slightly emphasized Eight-Count Foxtrot MUSIC: moderate 4/4 RHYTHM: slow , quick quick (SQQ) PHRASE: two measures or eight counts: S on counts 1,2; Q on 3, Q on 4, S on 5,6, Q on 7, Q on 8. Rhumba ****** MUSIC: slow to moderate 4/4 RHYTHM: SQQ PHRASE: two measures or eight counts: S on counts 1,2; Q on 3, Q on 4, S on 5,6, Q on 7, Q on 8 6-Count Foxtrot ******* ******* MUSIC: slow to moderate 4/4 RHYTHM: slow slow quick quick (SSQQ, called "magic") PHRASE: 6 beats: slow (1,2) slow (3,4) quick (5) quick (6); each repetition starts with same note Cha Cha *** *** MUSIC: moderate 4/4 RHYTHM: If you count from the beginning of the musical measure, it's SSSQQ. The last QQ and the first S are the cha-cha-cha. However as the dance begins on the second beat of the musical measure, I teach the dance phrase this way: SSQQS. The last QQS are the cha-cha PHRASE: 8 counts starting on beat 2 of first measure: 2 (S), 3(S), 4-and-5 (QQS), 6 (S), 7 (S), 8-and-1 (QQS)
