Pas-de-Basque (päd-bask or pah-deh-bahsk)
A step in which the dancer swings one foot to the side, springs onto it, and swings the other foot against it. Or more precisely -- Slight CCW ronde movement with left foot and arched instep on "and" count and step side with slight hop, ball-flat. Close R to L with right heel to left toe on the second "and," soften both knees and lift left heel on an "a" count, and step L raising R slightly toe pointing down. Done over two beats of music. And finally a little more fancifully -- Jeté to Second Position with Demi-Rondé. Assemblé to Fifth Position Front. Slight Plié and Coupé in place, finishing in Fifth Position en l'air with toe pointed down. (such music!) (from Silvester & Whitman, 1967)
