Definición y Significado de "box step"

What is the "box step"?

The box step is a fundamental dance movement used in various styles, particularly in ballroom dancing. It involves a series of steps that form the shape of a box or square on the floor. In a basic box step, the dancer steps forward with one foot, then moves sideways with the other foot, followed by bringing the first foot back to its original position, and finally stepping sideways again. This sequence creates a smooth, balanced pattern that helps dancers maintain rhythm and flow in their movements, making it a key component in many dance routines.
