Do you mean the tumble turn? Its like a left turning chasse, with the exception that the lady will cross her Left foot behind the right, on the "&" count (if danced 1,2,&,3). You typically end Di Center against LOD. This can be quite a big turn, so remember that you are on the inside of the turn. Usually danced with a strong left side shape during the 2,&, as to close the lady's head if it were to open in the running weave. Hope this helps!

Thanks Sean, it is not a tumble turn. I have found it in a book.

Dave. If you can write a description of a Rolling Chasse it might help. To my way of thinking if it is a Chasse and will finish ready for a Reverse Movement I will be on the wrong foot unless it is used to preceeds a type of Syncopated Quick Open Reverse.
The most used here after the Running Weave is a Double Side Cross. With the count of 1 2 and 3 and. usually followed by a Reverse Fallaway Slip Pivot into a Throwaway Oversway.
This is demonstrated on one of the letter service tapes Ballroom Competition Figures 2 by Marcus Hilton.
We put a Double Reverse Spin after the Reverse Fallaway .

"International Waltz. Hi,I want to dance a rolling chasse to the left after the running weave"

Why?

Perhaps you should go ask whoever gave you the idea... or tell us where you read about it or otherwise became aware of the possibility - maybe there are other clues there as to what was meant.

Geoffrey Hearn's book "A Technique of Advanced Standard Ballroom Figures" gives a suggested advanced combination of Running Weave - Chasse Roll to Left - Left Hinge.

As man, the chasse roll commences RF back backing DC, and ends with a LF open toe pivot to end backing LOD, having turned a total of 7/8 to the left. Timing is 1&23.
It is nothing like a quickstep tipple chasse to the left.
