Balancé

This video is part of an online video glossary of basic movements for traditional Scottish soft-shoe step dancing. The glossary is based on descriptions published in the St. Andrew&Collection of Step Dances (RSCDS 2009-2013). Voice-over is provided by the book&editor and RSCDS examiner Helen Russell (Scotland). Balancé (soft pas de basque derrière right diagonally forward followed by pas de basque left diagonally backward) is performed here by Sergey Alferov, fellow UKA, a Scottish dance teacher at Shady Glen (Moscow, Russia).
