What is the English meaning of Devant?

• A. In front
• B. In back
• C. To bend
• D. To rise

Answer: (A)

Devant means in front. In ballet, this French term is used to describe something positioned or moving toward the front of the dancer or toward the audience. You’ll see it in phrases about where a limb or the body line sits, such as a développé devant or arms in devant position—they’re held in front of the torso. The opposite idea is derrière, which means behind. The other actions listed—moving behind, bending, or rising—use different terms entirely, not devant.
