What are the five arm positions in Cecchetti Grade 1?

• A. First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth
• B. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th
• C. Top, Bottom, Side, Front, Back
• D. Arms overhead in a rounded shape

Answer: (B)

The five arm shapes in Cecchetti Grade 1 are a fixed set named First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth. These names are the vocabulary you use to describe how the arms are held and how you move between positions, forming the foundation for all port de bras in the grade. The best answer matches this official naming, reflecting the standard Cecchetti way to label the five positions. Other options either use non-Cecchetti terms or describe only part of the concept, instead of the complete set of five named positions.
