How to Pas de bourrée

Pas de bourrée is an important transition step that is utilized over and over in classes. Just in case you have had any confusion about it, we are here to break it down and make sure it's clear! This is a basic pas de bourrée dessous (under), and we will address other pas de bourrée in future videos. Stay tuned in for more technique tips coming your way in the future!

You are a fab ballet dancer . Actually I am a child . And it is very difficult to find dancer and videos like this. Keep it up💯💯👍👍

[@nicolahobson6354]

I have been finding this step confusing in class (I struggle with coordination)and have watched so many KZbin videos and this is the first one that I have actually understood! Thank you so much, I feel like I’m getting to grips with it now 😊😊😊

[@BallerinasByNight]

So glad! That's awesome!!

I came here because I needed to spell it correctly. I was not a ballerina but I was a dancer and a cheerleader and then drill team. We use part of array differently than you do but we were taught of course we're not on toe or irrelevant, ""stamp that Aunt stamp that Aunt ,stamp that Aunt,-- back side,land( not ballet, but same idea😊) .. and that's how we would move forward for routines or a cheer,& fall in to kick lines etc... your moves are gar mote beautiful ♡ . I wound up here Because we remembered 1988 high school Half time Routine and it was to opportunities by the Pet Shop Boys And you can actually probably here in the song where we did some pot of a race LOL Have a good life thank you for letting me share and thank you for sharing appreciate you❤❤❤.. my girls fid dance since they were 2.... now 18& 20..bskball captain/ cheer& compt cheer.. 😅

[@britishchickinusa]

Hi Abby! Looking good lady........ im one of your students now ! Hows that for reverse roles??

[@BallerinasByNight]

Glad to have you here!

[@asdfasdfadfasdf2979]

why would you call it a 3 step move when you count a 4th step?

[@teaforde007]

The step that she refers to as the count "and", is simply the prep of the 3 step move; the count "and" after the behind,side,front movement is the prep for the next step, whether that be another pas de bourrée or whatever other step that comes next in a particular combination.

[@nataliafreeman6207]

less talkin and more demonstrating would be nice

[@--Mar]

I have been watching a lot of videos to refresh my memory about ballet steps and their names. This is the clearest demonstration I have seen, believe me. Most of the others talk, talk, talk about so many extraneous details that you go away feeling more confused than before.
