Chasse

Chasse [ʃas] or chassé [ʃase] (French for "to chase") 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.

Varieties of Chasse

There is a large variety of Chasses across many dances. Variations include:

  • The direction may be sideways, diagonal or even curving.
  • Sizes of steps may vary. This also concerns the second, "Together", step: the moving foot may land right beside the standing foot or leave some space, or even barely move from its previous position.
  • Timing may vary. Typical timings in ballroom dances are qqS (1/4, 1/4, 1/2) and SaS ("slow-and-slow", 3/8, 1/8, 1/2).
  • Footwork may vary.
  • Ballet

    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.

    Chasse (casket)

    A châsse or reliquary box is a shape commonly used in medieval metalwork for reliquaries and other containers. To the modern eye the form resembles a house, though a tomb or church was more the intention, with an oblong base, straight sides and two sloping top faces meeting at a central ridge, often marked by a raised strip and decoration. From the sides there are therefore triangular "gable" areas. The casket usually stands on straight stumpy feet, and to allow access either one of the panels, but not on the front face, or the wooden bottom opens on hinges, usually with a lock. The shape possibly developed from a similar shape of sarcophagus that goes back to Etruscan art, or from Early Medieval Insular art, where there are a number of reliquaries or cumdachs ("book-shrines") with similar shapes, like the Monymusk Reliquary, although in these typically there are four sloping panels above, so no "gables"; a 13th-century example of this type is the chasse of Saint Exupère (see gallery of images, below). The word derives, via the French châsse, from the Latin capsa, meaning "box".

    Boomerang

    by: Shwayze

    [Chorus]I come and go like a boomerang,
    Set me free and ill come back again.
    To and fro like a freight train,
    Stop and lend yo time again.
    Verse 1
    I'm dark in a place,
    stuck in outer space,
    talkin to my friends they dont know what i say.
    I'm in the ocean duck divin the waves,
    I'm on a mountain been climbin for days.
    "The top of the world is just up the way",
    said the blind man wavin the sage.
    Chapter 5, 29th page
    Time ain't the only thing movin today.
    I gotta go, gotta get away,
    Let the sunset just set away.
    On the deck tryin to catch a wave,
    some girl in a dress will say,
    "Please don't leave me" [x2]
    [chorus]
    Verse 2
    Stop and go, is this rock and roll?
    Soul brotha on the yellow brick road.
    Dressed up ready to go,
    with my hair messed up in some regular clothes.
    Guess what, i'm strikin a pose,
    you could make a statue i suppose.
    Lights, camera, then i froze,
    Thoughts of you and my head arose.
    She loves me like a pedal on a rose,
    I love alot, last pedal on the floor.
    On the deck tryin to catch a wave,
    some girl in a dress will say,
    "Please don't leave me" [x2]
    [chorus]
    woah oh, oh, oh, ooh
    Verse 3
    Believe me this time i'm leavin,
    for a little bit longer than a weekend.
    And when you see me ill be rockin,
    on yo tv, i know your watchin.
    And ill be thinking of you often,
    put the top down and see a rose blossom.
    On the deck tryin to catch a wave,
    some girl in a dress will say,
    "Please don't leave me" [x2]
