Soussus means which movement?

Soussus means which movement?

• A. Gliding step in front
• B. Under-over step
• C. Bourrée step under
• D. Soussus

Answer: (D)

The name itself identifies the movement. Sous-sus is a precise fifth-position relevé with the feet very tightly crossed, often described as an “under-over” crossing of the legs as you rise onto pointe or demi-pointe. In Cecchetti vocabulary, the term sous-sus denotes that specific position and action, so selecting the term that matches the movement is the best choice. The other descriptions refer to different steps or general ideas and do not name this particular movement.
