Trois Pas de Bourrée Dessous et Un Posé en Avant involves how many bourée steps under and what accompanying step?

• A. 2 bourée steps under and 2 posing steps
• B. 3 bourée steps under and 1 posing step to the front
• C. 3 bourée steps over and 1 posing step to the front
• D. 4 bourée steps under and 1 posing step to the back

Answer: (B)

The key idea is to interpret the French terms and count the steps in order. Trois Pas de Bourrée Dessous means three bourrée steps done underneath (dessous), and Un Posé en Avant is one pose placed in front. So you perform three bourrées dessous and then one posé en avant facing forward. That matches the description of three bourrée dessous with a frontward pose, making that the correct choice. The other options would change the count, the direction of the bourrée (dessous vs dessus), or place the pose in the back, which doesn’t fit the phrase.
