Variations include: The chassé in waltz dancing has several defined forms or figures.
A slide with both legs bent either forwards, backwards or sideways and meeting in the air straightened.
It can be done either in a gallop (like children pretending to ride a horse) or by pushing the first foot along the floor in a plié and springing into the air where both legs meet stretched.
The International Skating Union rules define the following variants:[1] In line dancing the term chassé is used for a triple-step sequence in any direction (forward, side, back, diagonally, or curving).
The step is often called "the shuffle" by line dancers, but that has several unrelated meanings in other dance contexts.
