The Basic Step of Bolero
The basic step of bolero is a long, sweeping step to the side on the
slow beat, followed by a rock step forward or backward, on the
quick-quick beats. The bolero traditionally includes rise and fall and
stretching actions. During the slow step, there is an extension and lift
of the body.
The bolero uses figures such as cross body leads, open breaks,
underarm turns, fifth position breaks and crossover breaks.
