Trois Soussus et Une Échappé Relevé Changé involves how many under-over steps and what additional movement?

• A. 3 under-over steps and 2 échappés
• B. 3 under-over steps and 1 escaping movement raised and changed
• C. 3 over-under steps and 1 échappé
• D. 3 under-over steps and 2 relevés

Answer: (B)

Understand Cecchetti terminology: sous-sus describes each close, tight position movement often counted as an under-over action, performed on relevé in fifth position. Trois soussus means three of those under-over actions. The additional movement, échappé relevé changé, is an escape to a new position while staying on relevé, with a changement of the feet. So the sequence involves three under-over steps plus one movement that is an échappé relevé changé — raised on relevé and changed feet. The other options don’t fit because they either switch the under-over wording, or alter the number of movements (two échappés or two relevés), which isn’t what this combination specifies.
