Spanish term

paso botado

Spanish to English Art/Literary Music Dance step
Dance step used in a typical Armenian dance to the song Garun (or Garoon).

Resumen coreográfico
La coreografía que vas a aprender se inicia con todos los participantes colocados en posición circular (corro), con las manos cogidas y los brazos dispuestos en W. El movimiento del corro siempre se dirige en sentido con- trario a las agujas del reloj.

En esta danza podemos diferenciar dos partes:
• Parte A, que se ejecuta de cara al centro alternando sucesivamente dos«pasos botados» con vueltas y palmadas.
• Parte B, en la que encontramos «pasos cazados» laterales que se suce- den con pisadas y piernas lanzadas alternadas.
Más tarde, ejecutamos sucesivamente dos palmadas, mientras el corro avanza en círculo y da un salto de cara al interior del corro.

From a music book for secondary school students in Spain. They have to learn various dances from all over the world. I cannot find a description of this dance in English or translations of the steps and am beginning to feel a bit desperate! I think the "paso cazado" is a kind of quaver-quaver-crotchet (left-right-left) type move but I still don't know what it's called and as for the "paso botado", no idea. I'll post a separate question for each term.

Thanks in advance for your help.

The paso botado is a slight step ball change, the next step is a step kick with the left leg, then the right, two claps, and a box step to the left, then four steps back. Then begins the paso cazado.
