Thank you so much for this! Never saw someone break this down and I feel so validated that you called it surprisingly tricky! This breakdown is so helpful ❤
I know this is an old video and you're probably not watching the comments any more... but I just want to say THANK YOU for this and for all your other tutorial videos. You do such a good job! You are my "go to" UA-cam source for ballet tutorials. We appreciate you so much!
Aww thank you so much for the kind comment! I'm so happy to hear that the channel tutorials are helpful for you to master these movements. Happy dancing! :)
Aww we're so glad to hear!! If you ever have any more suggestions for topics that you're struggling with in class, we're making new videos every week and love to hear your ideas and challenges! :)
Super great question! A pas de bourrée can most often be classified as a transition step whereas a waltz is a bit bigger of a step and you'll see a waltz done moving through space with larger steps. (Another variation of a waltz step is a balancé: this step can look very similar to a pas de bourrée.) There are largely two major elements that differentiate the two. Mainly, the feeling of the body is a bit different because even those there are three steps for both pas de bourrée and for waltz, one has a bit more of a swing feeling (waltz, balancé) and the other is more of an upward action with not a lot of sway influenced by the legs as much as the waltz or balancé. Secondly, specifically with the balancé, the times in which your legs are crossed may be different; pas de bourrée crosses the legs, opens them, and then crosses again. Balancé can be a bit more of open the legs apart, then cross and stay crossed. There are a few other differences but those are some of the major variations between the two. Check out our waltz and balancé videos on our channel to see if you can see the differences! Hope this helps!

What is the difference between. Waltz and pas de bourre
