When performed as a show or in dance competitions, the Paso Doble is a highlight due to its strong theatrical aspects: it is the danced interpretation of a Spanish bullfight, where the leader takes the role of the torero, while the follower might enact the cape, the shadow, or a mirror image of the torero, or sometimes a flamenco dancer. Beyond these dramatic aspects, which play a minor role in a social dance context, characteristic elements include the steady change between stationary elevated figures and extensive March-like movements.
