Which movement sequence is described by Adage- Développé à la Quatrième devant, Grand Rond de Jambe en Dehors en l'air, Grand Fouetté?

• A. Adage- Développé À La Quatrième Devant, Grand Rond De Jambe En Dehors En L'Air, Grand Fouetté
• B. Battements Balancés
• C. Grande Révérence
• D. Première Arabesque Croisé

Answer: (A)

This item tests recognizing a specific adage phrase by naming the movements in order. It describes starting with a développé à la quatrième devant, which lengthens the working leg to a front extension with proper turnout. Then it moves into a grand rond de jambe en dehors en l’air, a large outward circle of the leg performed in the air, keeping the leg and hips turned out. It finishes with a grand fouetté, a strong whipping action of the leg. Together, these three elements form a continuous adage sequence that matches the described pattern. The other options refer to different types of movement or poses: battements balancés are rhythmic beatings of the foot, grande révérence is a dancer’s bow, and première arabesque croisé is a specific pose. None of those capture the exact progression of developed front, rond de jambe en dehors en l’air, then grand fouetté.
