Échappés is translated as which English phrase?

• A. Escaping Movements
• B. Developed Movements
• C. Disengage Movements
• D. Raised Movements

Answer: (A)

This tests your ability to translate a French ballet term into English. Échappés describe the action of escaping from a closed position to an open one, typically from fifth to second, with the feet moving apart while the body remains upright. In English ballet vocabulary, this action is described as escaping, so the plural form “Escaping Movements” fits best to capture the repeated action across multiple steps. The other phrases point to different ideas—developed movements, a disengagement term, or raised movements—none of which convey the specific escape from a closed to an open position.
