The Paso Doble is a Spanish dance that is also counted among the Latin American dances. This ballroom dance depicts bullfighting, where the man plays the role of bullfighter or torero and the lady is la capa (the red cape) who has to chase the bull. The man ‘swings’ the lady around as if she were that red cape. Paso Doble literally means double stride and is a dance filled with passion and intensity. The Paso Doble is danced to the appropriate music with a rhythm of 60 to 62 bars per minute. The music is characterised by highlights: accents in the music that require the dancing couple to adopt a fixed position in their dance programme.
