Which term translates to 'Gliding steps performed in front and back'?

• A. Glissade Derrière
• B. Glissade Devant
• C. Glissades Devant et Derrière
• D. Échappés Relevés sur les Demi-Pointes

Answer: (C)

Glissade is a sliding, gliding step that travels from one foot to the other with a smooth transfer of weight. When you see devant and derrière, they specify in which direction the gliding occurs—front or back. Having both directions in the phrase signals that you perform glissades in front and behind, hence Glissades Devant et Derrière. The plural form indicates multiple glides, matching the idea of steps carried out in both front and back. The other terms refer to glissade in a single direction or to a different movement entirely: glissade derrière means glides behind only, glissade devant means front only, and échappés relevés sur les demi-pointes describes escapes into a relevé on half-toe, not glissades front and back.
