That chassee and heel, toe, heel, toe combination is essentially a chassee and beaten step combination, very common in 18th century country dances. The beaten step was not usually specified in the description of the dance, but was one of the steps that might be used whenever a "footing step" was called for.

See my blog entry on Ashley's Ride for an example: http://www.dancehistoryalive.com/blog/2015/05/ashleys-ride/

Michael,

That's one of my favorites too.  I'm curious about the chasse down  
and heel toe.  Are there any old English dances that have this  
combination?  Maybe French (shouldn't leave them out)?
