Which term describes two large circles of the leg in the air with an arabesque?

• A. Pirouette pour Filles
• B. Entrechat Quatre
• C. Deux Grand Ronds de Jambe en l'air avec l'Arabesque
• D. Pirouette en Dedans Taken from a Lunge

Answer: (C)

In Cecchetti terminology, a rond de jambe en l’air is a circle of the leg traced in space with the leg extended. When you perform two of these large leg circles in the air while maintaining an arabesque, the description becomes two grand rond de jambe en l’air avec l’arabesque. This phrase specifically names that movement: two big circular movements of the working leg in the air, while the leg stays in arabesque. The other options describe turns or jumps, not the action of tracing two large circles in the air with the leg held in arabesque.
