History of the Quickstep

Some dance historians believe that the Quickstep preceded the Fox Trot and Charleston in the early 1800s as a march. There is evidence of Quickstep music since the 1800s. But the Quickstep that we know today is closely related to the 1920s version from the United Kingdom, popularised by Frank Ford and Molly Spain. The Quickstep added to the many playful dances of the 1920s and was well suited to the big band music of the time.
