Which term describes the attitude and inward turn study?

• A. Pirouette en Dedans Taken from a Lunge
• B. Attitude et Pirouette en Dedans Study
• C. Entrechat Royale
• D. Sissonne en Arrière, ouverte

Answer: (B)

Attitude et Pirouette en Dedans Study describes a Cecchetti study that combines two elements: the attitude position and a pirouette en dedans. The term “study” signals a short sequence used to test control, turnout, balance, and alignment as these two components are executed together. Attitude refers to the working leg held turned out with knee bent, while pirouette en dedans is an inward turn on the supporting leg. Putting them together in a study means you maintain proper turnout and alignment through the turn while sustaining the attitude position. The other options involve different movements or jumps that do not pair an attitude with an inward turn in a study format.
