The  pasodoble  (or "double step") is a  couple's dance  that simulates the art of bullfighting, in which the man represents the bullfighter and the woman the cape (or sometimes, the same passion that surrounds him).

It is characterized by:  martial and marked rhythm  (like a military parade).

Firm, elegant, and decisive steps .  Stage presence : you dance as if you were in a theater or a plaza.

Brief history:  It was born in  Spain  in the 18th century as a  military march .

It became a popular stage dance in the theatre, especially in  zarzuelas .

It spread throughout Europe and Latin America as a ballroom dance.

In the world of competitive dance, the pasodoble is one of the five Latin dances of  international dancesport .

Paso doble music:  It has a  2/4 time signature , with a strong, energetic, and steady rhythm. Some famous songs:

Spanish cañí  (the most traditional in competitions).

The wild cat .

Manolete .

Rooster .

Listen to the songs and start tapping your feet to the beat:  one-two, one-two , with decisive steps and a firm chest.

Basic steps of the pasodoble

The walk (March step)

Walk forward with firm steps, one per beat.

The leader marks with his left foot; the pair follows with their right.

Chassé:  A quick lateral movement (step-close-step) used to advance or change direction.

Appel:  A firm tap of one foot (usually the left) on the floor, as a signal or dramatic pause. It represents a moment of tension in the dance.

Theatrical positions.  Arms extended in the form of a cape.

Changes of direction with firm turns.

Upright posture, fixed gaze, intense expression.

Roles in the couple:  the  man  (or leader) represents the  bullfighter : strong, brave, controlled.

The  woman  (or follower): represents the  cape or emotion : elegant, fluid, with soft curves and drama. Both should create a wordless dialogue, with strength and grace.
