What is this?
Title: Chassé from PP
Level: Pre-Bronze (ISTD), (IDTA)
Timing: (12&3)
Rotation: None
Notes
The Chassé from PP is one of only five Promenade Figures in ISTD syllabus Waltz (the IDTA has six). It is the only one in either syllabus that may be danced at a Pre-Bronze/Bronze Level. 

In our 1966 edition of The Revised Technique by Alex Moore, the Chassé from PP is called a "Synchopated Chassé." Our guess is that in order to avoid confusion with the Progressive Chassé or the Progressive Chassé to Right, the Synchopated Chassé was rechristened 'Chassé from PP.'
