It is often said that Foxtrot took its name from its inventor, the vaudeville actor Harry Fox; however the exact origins are unclear. The dance was premiered in 1914, quickly catching the eye of the talented husband and wife duo Vernon and Irene Castle, who lent the dance its signature grace and style. W.C. Handy ("Father of the Blues") notes in his autobiography that Noble Sissle told a story that Handy's Memphis Blues was the inspiration for the Foxtrot. The Foxtrot is danced in 4/4 time with a variety of steps, both fast and slow, The Foxtrot was later intergrated into Metis culture amongst other dances such as, the waltz and the Red river jig.
