How to Dance Quickstep Scatter Chasse

[@charlessmith263]

I had been learning ISTD stuff in the 1990s for this figure--the scatter. My favorite of all quickstep trick steps. It is generally allowed in novice, pre-championship and championship level situations. Usually you only do 2 scatters (a series of 4 steps, each subdivided into their own double-time chasses in one setting).

I love quickstep too Charles! It feels great to skip, run, kick, etc to joyful music. I also love the artistic freedom in this dance, once you finish syllabus and dance open figures. You really get to play with the choreography in this dance. Scatters are particularly handy because not only do they catch the judges/audience eye, but they have great flight, they’re easy to lead and follow, and once you nail the technique, they’re easy to keep on phrase musically, it’s a natural turning figure so useful dislike and around corners, they’re athletically easy, so give dancers a little cardio break. All good stuff! Thank you fur commenting & sharing Charles!
