Pas de basque Scottish Country Dancing
Pas-de-basque The Scottish Dance Term Pas-de-basque is usually pronounced in the anglicized form, “pah-d’-bah”. In Quick tempo Scottish Country Dances, it is mostly used for Dancing On the spot (Setting) but occasionally for Travelling.. The diagrams show the basic step, starting with the right foot from a stationary Position and taking two bars, one for each foot.
This is to complete the 5 basic steps of SCD
Steps cannot be achieved overnight. It is a life-long practice, even I do today. So join me to enjoy practice and improve them.
