Insight: Ballet glossary - Pas de bourrée

Pas de bourrées

In ballet, pas de bourrées are a series of linking steps consisting of three small steps. They may be executed with the back foot
 or front foot, sideways, forwards, backwards or turning - usually from fifth position to second position to fifth.

Watch Romany Pajdak, Royal Ballet First, execute a series of pas de bourrées.

This is one of my favourite ballet videos. Watching actual choreography is one thing, but when you're watching one simple step it looks effortless, so much more graceful :)

i dont understand y people dislike these things!! shes a beautiful dancer with a gorgeous technique and personally found this video super helpful!!!

[graleh]

wow, that woman is simply just amazing!

[ah]

I really enjoy watching this lady's instruction videos

[gladoline]

2 dislikes? Jealous much? Personally, I think that was very amazing and for the people who "dislike" this video need to realise that everybody dances differently and expresses their dance in different ways so, its bascially impossible not to like this. End of!

@likeafirstday yes i she is, she's a first artist at the royal ballet.

[KiliniLove]

Her point is amazing. I will never be so good en pointe!!!:(

If I remember correctly: this technique helps the dancer in moves that require spins, turns, and on full point, yes?

pas de bourree couru with her port de bras is so beautiful and soft.

my old dance studio would use the entertainer music for pas de bourrées as well! Although my teacher simply called the 'pas de bourrées couru' bourrées.
