A chassé is a ballet movement where the dancer glides or slides from one position to another, typically with one foot chasing the other. The term "chassé" means "chased" in French, reflecting the motion where one foot follows the other. To perform a chassé, the dancer steps out with one foot and then brings the other foot to join it, often in a smooth, sliding motion. This step is often used to travel across the floor or to transition between different movements, creating a flowing and elegant effect. The chassé emphasizes smoothness and control, making it a versatile and essential movement in ballet and other dance styles.
