The Paso Doble is based on the bullfight. The man represents the bullfighter, 'Torero', and the lady the red cape or 'cappa'. It is danced to the characteristic march music used for procession at the beginning of a corrida.

How routines should look:

The dance should be very dramatic. Marching beat, matches movement of the bodies.

Sharp movements.

The dance should have elements of Flamenco dancing - this is all in the footwork.

Routines should include:

Apel - this is when the man stamps his foot - this should be very strong.

Should be lots of artistic hand movements, very defined.

Walks - very strong and proud. All of the walks should be on the heels, with strong heel leads.
