International Latin Silver & Gold Paso Doble Syllabus | Corky Ballas

International Latin Silver & Gold Paso Doble Syllabus is a comprehensive advanced training program presented by renowned Latin dance educator Corky Ballas, assisted by Kristina Pchenitchnykh. Covering both Silver and Gold levels of the International Latin Paso Doble syllabus, this approximately 130-minute program develops the figures, dramatic shaping, rotational actions and characteristic movement required for higher-level Paso Doble dancing.

The Silver Level progresses through important syllabus figures including La Passe, Banderillas, Twist Turn, Fallaway Reverse Turn, Coup de Pique, Left Foot Variation, Spanish Lines and Flamenco Taps. These figures expand the dancer’s technical vocabulary while developing stronger directional movement, partnering, shaping and the distinctive Spanish character associated with Paso Doble.

The Gold Level introduces increasingly sophisticated material, including Syncopated Separation, Traveling Spins from Promenade Position, Traveling Spins from Counter Promenade Position, Fregolina, Twists and The Chassé Cape. These advanced figures demand greater control of rotation, balance, timing, partner coordination and floor movement.

Separate demonstrations of the Silver and Gold figures allow dancers to see how the individual syllabus elements connect in continuous movement. A final Dance Demonstration further illustrates the practical application and performance character of the material.

With approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes of instruction, this program is an excellent reference for Silver and Gold students, dance teachers, medal-test candidates, competitive dancers and instructors seeking a structured guide to advanced International Latin Paso Doble.
