The fourth beat is split in two so the count of the next three steps is 4-and-1. These three steps constitute the "cha-cha chasse". A step to the side is taken with the left foot, the right foot is half closed towards the left foot (typically leaving both feet under the hips or perhaps closed together), and finally there is a last step to the left with the left foot. The length of the steps in the chasse depends very much on the effect the dancer is attempting to make.
