What are the two actions listed as the correct sequence of the body positions?

• A. Glisser and tourner
• B. Tourner and Glisser
• C. Glisser and Erect
• D. Erect and Lowered

Answer: (A)

Glisser first sets up the body for a controlled turn. In this sequence, you glide the working foot smoothly into the correct position with proper turnout and weight over the supporting leg, creating a stable, ready position. From that prepared footing, you execute the turn (tourner) with accuracy and balance. If you tried to turn first, you’d be attempting a rotation from an unsettled alignment, making the turnout, balance, and line harder to maintain. The other pairings don’t follow this practical progression of preparing the foot and then turning, so the two actions in the correct order are glisser followed by tourner.
