Échappés Sautés Changés describes which type of movement?

• A. A Straight Jump with No Foot Changes
• B. Escaping Movement Jumped and Changed, Bourrée Steps Under and Changes of the Feet
• C. Turning in Place While Bending Knees
• D. A Jump to the Side with a Touch

Answer: (B)

Échappés Sautés Changés is a movement that combines a jump with a change of feet in mid-air. In this step you spring from a closed position (like fifth) into an open position, and the feet switch with each other as you rise and land. The phrase “bourrée steps under” describes the quick, under-the-body footwork that carries the feet beneath you to facilitate that change, so you land with the opposite foot leading. This is what makes it distinct from a simple straight jump (no foot change), a turning-in-place movement, or a side jump with a touch.
