Paso Doble

"Paso Doble or Pasodoble (literal meaning in Spanish: double-step) is a typical Spanish march-like musical style as well as the corresponding dance style danced by a couple. It is the type of music typically played in bullfights during the bullfighters' entrance to the ring (paseo) or during the passes (faena) just before the kill. It corresponds to the Pasodoble dance (traditional and ballroom).

Paso Doble or pasodoble is a lively style of dance to the duple meter march-like pasodoble music. It actually originated in southern France, but is modeled after the sound, drama, and movement of the Spanish bullfight. Paso doble means "double step" in Spanish.

Famous bullfighters have been honored with pasodoble tunes named after them. Others are inspired in patriotic motives or local characters." [Wikipedia]

Today, I learn a new dance, Paso Doble, just like what a little information I have been given here earlier. It's kind of challenging dance and kinda nice to dance around too. A bit more tiring compare to Quicksteps and more steps than it too. As usual, I guess I need more training in this dance before I can really dance till have the feeling of pasodoble or bullfighting.

I'm thinking to join line dance provided in Fitness First too. Maybe I start joining it tomorrow. It seems pretty fun too.
