Which phrase translates to 'to the fourth front'?

• A. to the fourth front
• B. à la Quatrième devant
• C. En avant
• D. Croisé devant

Answer: (A)

In Cecchetti, many terms describing how the body is held are in French, and key particles tell you where and how a limb should be placed. Here, quarante? No, fourth is “quatrième” and front is “devant.” When you see à la quatrième devant, it means moving to or indicating the fourth position in front. The direct English way to express that instruction is “to the fourth front,” so that English phrasing matches the meaning of the French term. The other phrases describe different ideas: en avant means forward or in front in a general sense, not specifically the fourth front; croisé devant means crossed in front, which is a distinct alignment. So the phrase that conveys the fourth-front position in English is the translation of the French term, which is why that option is the best match.
