Paso doble

The Paso Doble is one of the Latin American dances from Spain and is danced at the tournament dances in 2 / 4 time. He's just a dance that is taught in dance schools, in public to dance but not like the waltz to the music of the dance, as it far too little music there are groups that play this style of music yet. The characteristics of the dance is that this dance is supposed to represent something: a Spanish bullfight. Also Paso Doble is called a village in the online game Seafight.

The dancing master represents the bull and the woman, the red cloth or a flamenco dancer. If one has this in mind, one can interpret the figures danced in the Paso Doble also good. The dance is rare, just like the other dance styles danced to the beat, but in time, certain figures and dance step sequences. The dance is called the march dance, as it within the bars are sometimes more and sometimes less step sequences, the march rather than a recall of a dance, this is also due to the rapidity of the steps. Also, the attitude dance is different than the other of the Latin American dances.

The posture of the dancers really remembers a fight, the man was leaning his head far back and arms after leaning too far back, so that a certain distance is created for dance partner. As an important means of Paso Dobles is one of the appeal, stomp in which the man and the woman in her step sequences with the foot on the floor and change unexpectedly, suddenly and for all the direction of the dance, and this is very reminiscent of the bull, such as on a Dodge.
