Paso Doble

Paso Doble is the most theatrical of the Latin ballroom dances — a dramatic Spanish-flavoured style that dramatises the movements of a matador and his cape through powerful choreography.

What Is Paso Doble?

Paso Doble is a theatrical ballroom dance based on the drama of a Spanish bullfight. The lead dancer represents the matador while the follower represents the cape (or sometimes a flamenco dancer). It is performed to march-style music with a strong, proud posture and dramatic characterisation.

As one of the five International Latin dances, Paso Doble is widely taught in competitive ballroom contexts. It is less commonly danced socially due to its theatrical nature, but highly spectacular as a performance style.
