Spanish term

paseo

Spanish to English Other Music traditional Basque sword dancing (Ezpata Dantza)
Paseo, primero, y luego el habitual juego de espadas cortas que todos conocemos con algunos matices y diferencias respecto a la gipuzkoana pero que no son relevantes.

They move around first, and then the usual short swords game we all know with some nuances and differences from the Gipuzkoa but they are not relevant.

Mientras bailan el paseo, el guión, sube a la parrilla formada con las espadas largas y esperar a que se toque el son del juego de las cortas para realizar, a la vez que los de delante, dichos movimientos. Finalmente el guión lanza un beso con sus espadas a todos los concurrentes. Seguidamente baja y de nuevo tomando dos espadas como al principio abandona la plaza.

promenade

Low rating because I am ignorant of Basque dance forms, but I do know that a promenade is an element of some dance forms...

Peer comment(s):

agree Charles Davis : I'm not at all sure that it's strictly a promenade in the formation dance sense, but my gut feeling is that this is a good term to use here. I've seen it just called the "walk". I doubt there's an "official" term in English for this.
