Ian: Hey random dancer on the internet. My name's Ian,

Lindsey: and my name's Lindsey,

Ian & Lindsey: and this is a Ballroom Blitz.

Ian: Welcome blitzers, today we are returning to the fun bullfight dance the Paso Doble Another stupendously easy figure called Chasses to Right. Let's not waste any time let's dust off those boots and get into it.

[Demonstration without music]

Ian: And it is as simple as that; Blitz done!

No.

We'll give you a little bit more information.

But, it is pretty much that simple. We're going to take two sets of side close, starting on the leader's right foot, to the leader's right. Because all of our steps [in Paso Doble] bar one, start on the leader's right foot, we don't need an Appel.

So, we're going to take a right close right close for the leader, and then because we're in a closed position it will be a left close and left close for the follower.

But you do have some options of whether you're going to do this in an elevated fashion so a bit more up on your toes or if we're going to keep it a little bit more dramatic with bent knees ready to go into different figures.

So that kind of depends on what look you want and what the function of the step after that is going to be.

[Demonstration with music]

Ian: And now, it's as simple as that!

As you saw no Appel [just] a simple series of Step closers step closers progressing to the leaders right. if we consult our literature it will tell us it has 4steps but as we know Paso Doble is easy to cut these things in half and do 2, or add a few more and do 6 or 8 if you really want or need to do that and can't find anything better to do.

Being in a closed hold it's really easy just to hold the following position and lead the figure a little bit off the cuff. So really easy just to plop in whenever you need to. Try it out give it a go have fun with your Paso fight those bulls like you've never fought them before and we'll see you in the next one.
