We updated our Paso Doble routine by making it simpler without losing any of its drama and excitement. The new routine consists mostly of Bronze and Silver figures, with just one Gold figure added at the very end. The last portion is almost identical to the original Paso Doble routine.
As before, we’ve put together a complete routine choreographed to Spanish Gypsy Dance, the most common musical selection for this dance. Consisting of some 28 phrases of 8, 12 or 10 bars of music, the routine helps dancers understand how they can perform the figures and put them together. The routine is also listed in our downloadable choreography guide.
This video is available to all Delta Dance members.
Demonstration of Routine
George and Wendy dance the Silver Paso Doble routine to show how it moves around the floor, and to show where the individual figures take place on the floor. This is being danced in a social style, the way it would typically be performed in a social setting.
Curriculum
Because this program utilizes a number of figures that have already been covered in our previous Paso program, we’ve created a single 20-minute video showing how the various figures are used, with explanations for those figures that we did not discuss previously.
