Échappé Relevé Changé is best described as an escaping movement that ends in which positions?

• A. Ends in second and front
• B. Ends in third and fifth
• C. Ends in fifth and in front
• D. Ends in first and second

Answer: (C)

Échappé relevé changé ends with the dancer in fifth position, facing the front. Here, you escape from a closed fifth to an open position while rising on pointe (relevé). The “changé” adds a jump that changes the supporting foot in the air, so you land in fifth again but with the opposite foot in front and your torso facing outward toward the audience. That precise landing—fifth position with the body turned to the front—matches the description you’re looking for. The other endings would require landing in different alignments or facing directions that this combination doesn’t produce.
