What Are the Basic Steps of Paso Doble?
Mastering the Basic Movement
The paso doble begins with a strong, upright posture in a closed position. The basic movement involves a series of forward steps, with the leader guiding the follower in a march-like rhythm. Key steps include:
The Sur Place: A stationary step where dancers maintain a strong frame.
The Promenade: A forward movement with a dramatic flair, often mimicking the matador’s cape.
The Chassé: A side step that adds fluidity to the routine.
These steps, combined with sharp turns and expressive arm movements, create the iconic look of the paso doble dance.
What’s the Difference Between Tango and Paso Doble?
While both the tango and paso doble are passionate Latin dances, they differ in style and execution. The tango features smooth, gliding movements with a focus on connection and improvisation. In contrast, the paso doble is more structured, with sharp, deliberate steps and a theatrical narrative. The tango feels intimate, while the paso doble exudes power and drama.
Key Differences
Rhythm: Tango has a slower, sultry beat, while paso doble music is fast and march-like.
Posture: Tango dancers lean slightly forward, while paso doble dancers maintain an upright, proud stance.
Story: Paso doble tells the story of a bullfight, while tango focuses on emotional connection.
