Paso Doble dance class inspired by Spanish bullfight tradition

What Is Paso Doble?

Paso Doble (meaning “double step” in Spanish) is a fast-paced dance characterized by its dramatic and energetic movements, inspired by the drama of a Spanish bullfight. The lead often embodies the matador, with movements that mimic a matador calling to the bull, while the partner, as the follower, mirrors or responds to the leader’s signals—much like the cape in a bullfight—creating a captivating story through movement.

In our Paso Doble lessons, you’ll learn how to:

Execute powerful, sharp movements with precision

Embody theatrical presence and posture

Master the iconic paso rhythm (counted in 2/4 time)

Perform choreographed routines with drama and impact

Develop lead/follow skills for competition or show
