Module III Paso
Doble |

Description |
The music in this section is not a true paso doble rhythm. But I have chosen to stylize this section with a Spanish flavor offering students the opportunity to explore Spanish movements. The basic paso doble step is composed of long gliding march steps done in a variety of directions frwd, bkwrd, grapevine. Because we are dancing to a rumba the paso doble rhythm has been modified to 1,2,3 hold 4 performed 8X |
