Re: chassee across

We danced all 6 figures of Le Grand Military Set from Elias Howe's 1858 ballroom dance manual. I call a lot of nineteenth-century dances, so it's usually pretty easy for me to interpret the manuals. This particular figure (#3) read as follows: "Ladies all balance to the right hand gentleman, and turn -- pass on and balance to the next and turn -- next -- balance and turn partners -- all chassee across and turn corners -- back and turn partners -- gentlemen all balance to the left hand lady and turn -- pass on to next -- next -- balance and turn partners -- all promenade." Another fun feature of this quadrille is that it features a grand square. Thanks again for your help! Deborah Hyland St. Louis
