The chassé (French:, French for 'chased'; sometimes anglicized to chasse / ʃ æ ˈ s eɪ, ʃ æ s /) is a dance step used in many dances in many variations. All variations are triple-step patterns of gliding character in a "step-together-step" pattern. The word came from ballet terminology

Rises and falls of the body is a natural phenomenon during casual walking: when feet are apart the body is closer to the ground than when the feet are together. Some dances, e.g., Charleston, exaggerate this natural "bobbing", while in many others bobbing at each step is considered to be bad style or lack of proper technique.
The reverse step pattern, right-up-left-down-right, transitions from a front to a back-turn. Full ("Butterfly") turns (left-down-right-up-left) -- Also known as a "spin" A more advanced pattern involves a complete turn around. This is often used in "freestyle" DDR to show off.
