pas also means " a pace" or "a step", in this case "dance step"!. This term means a movement in a dance!. A similar term is "pas de deux"!. Usually the movement is not backed up by the chorus or if the chorus is on the stage then it stands and acts as a spectator!. The dance will be performed by three of the more senior dancers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
