Joelle Martinec "Pas De Bourrée Changing Spot I" - Jazz Online Dance Class/Choreography Tutorial

This jazz across the floor is great for many levels of dancers. Once you understand pattern of the footwork adding the direction change comes with knowing where to take your spot.

Notes
  • You want to make sure the spot is changing on the first step of the second pas de bourre.
  • Keep your spot at eye level when changing direction.  
  • Like with any kind of rotation, focus on bringing the last side of the body around.
  • Be careful that the turning pas de bourre does not change into a chaîné.
  • If this exercise is too challenging, try the basic version "Pas De Bourrée Tempo Change"
  • Once you have mastered this exercise, move on to the next level with the exercise "Pas De Bourrée Changing Spot II"
