There is no problem with all four couples doing a chassee across at the
same time (unless some troublemaker deliberately aims at the opposite
couple!) If each couple keeps to their own right, and all four couples
move at once, no one will collide.

In your opinion or experience, how exactly would this work? If four
couples are moving at once, "across" is nearly impossible. Do you think
they're doing a sashay around, like a promenade? Or alternating heads &
sides? Something else?
