Ballroom Dance Tip #2

-Paso Doble-

The Paso Doble/Pasodoble is one of the International Latin dance styles and has its origins in Spain.

Music:  The music for the Pasodoble is often times heard during Bull fights, which is where the pacing for the music/dance comes from.  It is common for famous bull fighters to have a Pasodoble tune named after them.
Can you hear the bulls coming yet?

Dance:  This dance is very lively, remember, it is modeled off of the bull fight.  The leader of the dance is often times called the Matador (yes, just like a Matador)
Ready for a bull fight?

So, I did not find any great individual step videos, but this one gives you a fair showing of the basic steps to get you moving around the dance floor. 

Once again, these are only the basic steps, learn them then go back to add in more steps.  Tomorrow we will look at the Rumba.

Grab you partner and hit the dance floor.  Let's dance!
