Members And Friends Of RSCDS Stirling Branch, Guildhall, Stirling, Scotland, 2020.

Video Notes
This comprehensive exposition of the step covers the standard, on the spot form and also shows turning on the spot and limited travelling on the first beat of each bar. "Walking out" the step is shown with the pronounced sideways movements which too many beginners fail to unlearn despite the later statement, "Pas-de-basque should be performed on the spot, not from side to side".

Video Notes
Viewed from the front and from the rear, the Pas-de-basque Step is shown alternating with Skip Change in successive 2 bar phrases of jig tempo; this combination is especially good for the transition between these Steps.
