Lee Ann,

A question. Do you think that it is more important for a couple to dance together or to dance on the beat? Let me explain. Like it has been said, the song is a rather slow 4/4 timing. It would be difficult to dance the standard foxtrot to the beat. I could teach a nightclub foxtrot that would agree with your timing or, in fact, I use a q,q,s,s. Or I even tell my student that whenever they hear a song that is too slow not to worry about the beat but set a pace. When my students go out and have an opportunity to dance they will often come across songs such as Celine Dion or Shania Twain, etc. that is extremely slow. I would rather them dance a pattern off beat rather than go back to just turning in place. At the same time though, I do train my students to dance to a strict tempo foxtrot also.
I guess my question is, do you lose dance integrity by not dancing on the beat? What do you think?

Sounds to me that the dance apropos to this song is a 'very' slow Nightclub 2-step. May be just a clutch and sway song. A foxtrot to it would be interminably slow, perhaps not the ideal option.

Andrea. I would say that J Waltzer was correct, and that is At Last has a Foxtrot 4/4 tempo. Waltz has Three beats to one bar and is 3/4 tempo. If I were you I would learn Rhythm Dance Steps. It is very easy to learn and would fit in nicely to the music which in that tune is rather slow. Best of luck.
