Gliding step in the dance - Pas glisse (derived from the French pas - step, glisser - sliding) - is the movement in ballroom dancing forward, backward and sideways.
The sliding step looks like a wide foot movement, the toe glides gently over the surface. This step is also called a planing step.

Sliding step in the dance, starting with the right foot:
- Step your foot out in front of you, the toe gently glides over the surface.
- Then take a full step with the same foot.
- The weight is fully transferred to the foot of the working leg.
- Leave the knee relaxed.
- Left leg straight behind.
- With light movement, put the left foot to the right foot in the same position.

Pa Glisse backwards and to the sides is performed similarly to the classic Pa Glisse.
Notes:
- The dance step must be done on the same foot that the first step started with.

Pa Chasse comes from the French pas - step, chasser - to catch up.
Pas Chasser in the dance is a complicated version of the sliding step (double steps). Schematically, it is depicted as a "step - catch up - step." A double sliding step is performed in all directions and diagonally. The basis of Pas Chasser is the steps of Pas glisse.
Pas Chasser back and forth
- First step is Pa Glissé with the right foot.
- Left leg pulls up to right, knees straighten.
- Pa Glisse again with the right foot.
Movements from the left foot, to the side and back are done in the same way.
Notes:
- The sock must not be torn off the floor.
- Movements begin with half-raised fingers.
- Step starts with a toe.
- When performing the Pa Chasse in the dance, the head is turned towards the leg performing the step.
Pa Glissade is a dance step, characterized by the absence of half-fingers.
