In the Additional Positions of the Body, which term translates to 'to the Fourth in Front'?

• A. Croisée Devant
• B. à la Seconde
• C. à la Quatrième Devant
• D. à la Quatrième derrière

Answer: (B)

In Cecchetti terminology, names like à la … show where the body or feet are placed, with deviant or behind indicating front or back. For the phrase “to the Fourth in Front,” you’re looking for the fourth foot position oriented in front, which is expressed as à la Quatrième Devant. That literally translates to “to the fourth in front.” The other options describe different positions (for example, à la Seconde means to the second position, Croisée Devant means crossed in front, and à la Quatrième Derrière means the fourth behind), so they don’t match the requested translation.
