Right backward outside chassé

RBO to LBI: the free foot comes down beside the skating foot, nothing crossing, still travelling backwards on the same lobe.

Also called open chassé or simple chassé. Other names.

Backwards, the free foot set down beside the skating foot with nothing crossing. Quieter than a crossover and less powerful, which is the trade: a chassé keeps a curve going without disturbing it.

Because there is no crossing action to hide behind, a chassé shows up a weak edge at once. If the lobe opens out as the feet change, the edge was never deep.
