Which pair is repeated in Glissade Derrière, Assemblé Dessus, Glissade Derrière, Assemblé Dessus, Pas de Bourrée Dessous, Pas de Bourrée Dessous?

• A. Pas de Bourrée Dessous
• B. Assemblé Dessus
• C. Glissade Derrière, Pas de Bourrée Dessous
• D. Glissade Derrière, Assemblé Dessus

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is spotting a repeated two-step phrase, a pair, within a sequence. In this sequence, the two-step unit Glissade Derrière followed by Assemblé Dessus appears at the start and then the exact same two-step unit shows up again after the next two moves. That repetition of the same two-step combination forms a clear paired motif. The other repetition in the line is a repetition of a single step twice (Pas de Bourrée Dessous, Pas de Bourrée Dessous), which isn’t a two-step pair with two different steps, so it doesn’t match the idea of repeating a two-step unit. Because of that, the pair that repeats as a unit is Glissade Derrière, Assemblé Dessus.
