What is a pass de Bourree?
I think you mean pas de bouree - it is a ballet step, usually interpreted as ' little cramped running step'. The dancer stand, usually in 3rd or 5th. The front leg then swings out to the side, but stays low. Then it crosses behind the supporting leg. The (new) front leg then steps out to the side, both feet are on a rise at this point. Then the leg that initiated the action then closes back into 3rd or 5th, in front of the supporting leg. Hope that helps!
