Eugene and Maria. I think they just turned pro this year. They had their last amateur competition at the 2007 Embassy Ball in LA, California.

i just love how it starts :)

no man, it really is from spain. The dance is made to imitate the way a matador or a bullfighter and his cape moves before he kills the bull. and i don't know if the Paso exhibited now is different from the ones in spain. but it is still intense.

Couple 166 was awesome!

watch the documentary of two brothers from Spain who are world renowned bull fighters the shapes they make are incredible and resemble the Paso you see danced today in Latin dance. It's a great documentary, I believe 60minutes did the interviews, and it's very educational any way.

@contactm How do these daancers earn pro status?

If I'm remembering correctly the story I heard is that King Louis XIV went to Spain and saw a bullfight and wanted to do that sort of thing, so he went back to France and invented the Paso Doble. This story makes sense to me because Louis liked to dance, and all the names of the figures are in French - Ecart, Coup de Pique, Deplacement, etc. So yes it is inspired by bullfighting, but it was born in France.

This is so much better than bull fighting... only beauty... not blood. I learned about the paso doble in France.... my boyfriend was a professional ballet dancer... He had a small dancing part in La Traviata in Monaco at the Casino. And Beausoleil would put on free dances every weekend where folks did the paso doble. It didn't look like this... but was still cool (and now I wonder if it was the pas-redouble??? version).

In France there was the PasoDoble was called pas-redoublé, a military march was accompanied by a dance quite different from Spanish paso doble.

The pasodoble that we know today was born in Spain, represents the feeling noble, strong and simple Spanish town. We therefore have to dance puffed out his chest and inserting the stomach, with elegance and temperament, but not rigidly, the Spanish paso doble, is closely linked to the world of bullfighting was gradually spreading to the south of France
