Paso Doble | Love & Bullfighting
Paso Doble and A Taste of Spain Party | Aurthur Murray Kenilworth NJ
Inspired by the fierce summer bullfights in the shimmering heat of the Spanish plains, the Paso Doble is fusion of heat, love, dominance, and conquest:
Paso Doble atmosphere is powerful, intoxicating and intense with fierce drama and captive energy. It puts the audience under its majestic and magical spell. Danced at its best it requires both composure and stealth. Paso Doble was originally a dance simply depicting the actions of the Matador with the lady portraying the cape. It has now progressed from that style with the dancers enacting the role of the torero, picador, banderillero, bull, or Spanish dancer, interchanging their roles at will.
It also now includes many flamenco and Spanish dance movements. From early in history there has been Spanish supremacy as a country of dance.
The Matador is the most thoroughly masculine of all male dancers. He is the wielder of the cape. His arrogant stance displays bravery and defiance in the face of the enemy. He is ruthlessly in control and always shows off the lady to her best advantage. Paso Doble is a man’s dance and out of the five latin dances it is only in this dance where the man is the centerpiece. (Shirley Aymé, Paso Doble Styling).
Below, Danila & Nuria Kartashov performed the Paso Doble at their Kenilworth New Jersey Arthur Murray Dance Studio:
Danila is originally from Russia where he started dancing at age 5. A former Moscow Closed Champion, he moved to the States where he met Nuria, originally from Spain and a former member of the Guzman Ballet Company. Soon they started their partnership.
Competing throughout the US and Canada. They have won the titles: Arthur Murray World International Latin Champions, Manhattan Dancesport Championships, Caribbean Dancesport Classic (Puerto Rico), Florida State Dancesport Championships, San Diego Dancesport Championships, California Star Ball Championships, finalist at the USA National Championships, Ohio Star Ball, La Classic du Quebec (Montreal), International Grand Ball Championships, Yuletide Ball Championships, Dessert Classic Dancesport Festival, San Francisco Open Championships, and many many more.

The goal of the New Jersey Arthur Murray Dance Studios is to help the beginner (and more experienced) dancer get out on the dance floor on their own as soon as possible. Their dance instruction teaches the dancer not only specific dances, all instruction focuses on teaching the dancer the skills they need to learn any dance.
They offer a complimentary private lesson in all of their New Jersey Dance studios. They’ll talk to you about your goals — whether social dancing or competitive — and evaluate your skills. They’ll then customize a program that matches the student’s unique needs, level of experience, and schedule.
All programs include group classes, private lessons, and special dance practice parties. During group lessons, dancers learn new dances, meet fellow students, and dance with a variety of partners. In private lessons, dancers receive personalized instruction in styling and technique. Finally, at their practice parties, dancers have fun and practice what they’re learned under the guidance of studio instructors.
