How to Do the Pas de Bourree Turn Jazz Dance Move

Transcript

Alright, I’d like to show you what a pas de bourrée looks like. You’re right leg starts from the side, we’re doing a pas de bourrée. Back, side, front. And back, step side, step front. It’s a three step movement. One more time. One, two, three. One two, three. We want to go up, up, down with the feet, up, up, down.

You can also do the step with a turn. It’s called a back pas de bourrée. And you’re just going around yourself. Up, up, down and up, up, down. I like to do this step with a nice pressed elongated arm line for jazz and really stretch through your fingertips to feel a nice burning sensation with the arms. Again, the core is activated. So, we’re doing pas de bourrées. Up, up, down. Up, up, down. Back pas de bourrée.

One, two, three, reverse. One, two, three. Adding a nice little shoulder in there gives it a very beautiful jazz style. Alright, I’m going to demonstrate a pas de bourrée for you. First slow, and then fast to music. Pas de bourrée. Jazz. Five, six, seven and, up, up, down. Up, up down. Back pas de bourrée. One, two, three and one, two, three. Doing this faster can add a level advancement. Ready? And five, six, seven and, one, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. Again. One, two, three. One, two, three. Back pas de bourrée, back pas de bourrée. And there’s your pas de bourrée.
