Definice a Význam "pas de basque"

What is "pas de basque"?

Pas de basque is a ballet step that involves a smooth, rhythmic sequence of movements, often performed to transition between positions or steps. The term "pas de basque" translates to "Basque step" in French, reflecting its origins in traditional Basque dance. To execute a pas de basque, the dancer typically steps to the side, brings the other foot to meet it, and then performs a quick step or hop, often incorporating a slight turn or movement in the direction of the original step. This step helps to create a flowing and connected quality in the dance, and it is commonly used in various ballet routines to maintain continuity and add dynamic movement.
