Cross Chassé Quickstep
|
Title: Cross Chassé
Level: Bronze (ISTD); (?) (IDTA) Timing: (SQQ) Rotation: None (See notes) |
Notes
The Cross Chassé is listed in the 'Additional Figures' section of the ISTD syllabus. This is because it is not a required figure for examination. For the sake of competition and choreography, it can be used just like any other figure. The Cross Chassé is also related to the Running Cross Chassé. Historical Note: In the old editions of The Revised Technique by Alex Moore, t he Cross Chassé is listed amongst the Associate Syllabus (Bronze Figures). We can only speculate as to how it came to its current position -- possibly having been removed entirely before being re-inserted as an additional figure in the latest amendment. IDTA Syllabus: The Cross Chassé is listed under 'Additional Figures in Quickstep and Basic Principles. It is not specified at which level it is to be danced. Rotation Both the Ballroom Technique nor Quickstep and Basic Principles indicate that there is any rotation in the Cross Chassé. In reality, however, the Cross Chassé is often used to make up to 1/4 Turn to Left (see examples 2 and 3 below). |
