Chassé (waltz)

The chassé ([ʃase], French for 'to chase'; sometimes anglicized to chasse /ʃæˈseɪ, ʃæs/) is a waltz ballroom dance figure. Like chassés in other dances, it involves a triple-step where one foot "chases" the other in a "step-together-step" pattern. It is derived from a ballet step.[1]
