Origins

Paso Doble originated in Spain, influenced by the music of traditional Spanish bullfights. It evolved in the early 20th century to become a ballroom dance, bringing the essence of the Spanish matador to life through movement. The dance portrays the courage, precision, and drama of the bullring, allowing dancers to embody the power of the matador and the rhythm of flamenco-inspired footwork.
