The Tipple Chasse to the Right involves two quarter turns going from back line of dance to forward line of dance. The first step invites the woman to begin the figure. The man is on the inside of the figure and he must shape to bring the woman around. Starting back line of dance in closed position, move your left leg back and to the side (slow) and then do a chasse movement with your right leg facing center (quick), close with your left leg (quick), then move your right leg forward (slow). Keep rotating your body so your left side is going forward.You then do a forward lock step (Q,Q,S). The feet must be perfectly parallel during the lockstep.
