Pointe tendue demi en l'air is described as?

• A. Stretched point halfway in the air, 45 degrees or halfway between à Terre and en l'air
• B. Stretched point on the ground
• C. Bent knee in the air
• D. Stretched point in the air, at hip height

Answer: (A)

Pointe tendue demi en l’air means the leg is fully stretched on pointe, but raised only halfway between the floor and being fully in the air. In Cecchetti terms, demi en l’air places the working leg at about a 45-degree height. So the description that fits is a stretched pointe halfway in the air, around 45 degrees between à terre and en l’air. The other options describe being on the ground, having a bent knee, or being raised higher than demi en l’air, which don’t match this specific halfway elevation.
