Adam Faith's producer Ross Taylor, taught him the Madison for  the "Adam Faith Show."


THE STEPS


This is the "Madison Basic" step. The dance, which is done off the beat, has a relaxed knee action, similar to the twist and the kicks should all be from the ankle and not "leg kicks."

Once you have grasped the basic steps you will soon pick up the finger snapping, hand clapping, thigh smacking, floor touching variations, which may be called out by a leader as in square dancing.
