chasse
Chasse is a term used in ballet, referring to a type of gliding dance step where one foot literally 'chases' the other out of its position. It usually involves a slide forward, backward, or sideways with one foot, then the other foot following it to replace the first. This move can be performed in various ways, with a leap or a jump, and is frequently used in dances for stylistic transitions or linking steps. The term "chasse" is derived from the French word meaning "to chase".

Chasse
Chasse or chassé rarely chassée is a dance step used in many dances in many variants, all of them being triple-step patterns of gliding character, steps going basically step-together-step. The word came from ballet terminology. It is not to be confused with The Chase figure of Tango. There is a huge variety of them in many dances: ⁕The direction may be sideways, diagonal or even curving. ⁕Sizes of steps may vary. This also concerns the second, "Together", step: the moving foot may land right beside the standing foot or leave some space, or even barely move from its previous position. ⁕Timing may vary. Typical timings in ballroom dances are qqS and SaS. ⁕Footwork may vary.
