Dance Move: Pas De Bourre

Hello Dancers! Did you know that ballet steps and terms are used in other dance forms as well? We learned a "bourre turn" in my salsa class the other night - does that remind you of anything? If you said: pas de bourre, you are correct!
A pas de bourre consists of 3 steps - behind, side, front - and in ballet, it always ends in a demi plie. (In my salsa class, we use it mostly in conjunction with turns). It orinigates from the area of Auvergne in France.
