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!

Ballet wasn't really invented in one place... what we know as ballet today was developed over a period of hundreds of years from a combination of social dancing and theatrical performance in various parts of Western Europe. But in France, under Louis XIV (around 1650 to 1715) , it got a big boost as the king was a fan and practitioner of ballet.
Experts say people started doing ballet 1000s of years ago. Almost all the different types of dance (hip-hop, jazz, ballroom) evolved from ballet. Even though many people think of ballerinas as girls, the first ballerinas were boys. Ballet has changed through the centuries. I hope this article was informative and educational.
