The transition depends on which foot is weighted
For this Paso Doble figure combination, use a deliberately fixed practice version: each component lasts four counts and contains four complete weight transfers. This is not a rule for all Paso Doble figures. The versions of the Chassé you may have learned differ in length and finish. Here you need the version side step, close, side step, close, each time placing your weight on the arriving foot. You can find the movement itself in the guide to the sideways Paso Doble Chassé.
The leading partner starts with the left foot and transfers weight in sequence to the left, right, left, and right. The following partner starts mirrored, with the right foot, and ends on the left. This means that after each four-count block, the original starting foot is free. Just because a foot is closed doesn't tell you whether it's weighted: it may simply have been brought in, or your weight may actually have shifted onto it.
The change of direction is the small quarter turn you've already learned, performed over four marching steps. This changes the direction the entire couple faces, not the agreed foot sequence. Repeatable means the same transition, not the same place on the floor. After one pass, the leading partner faces a new direction. The sequence therefore remains a manageable practice round and doesn't automatically become choreography for a full dance floor.
