What is the English translation of Assemblé Soutenue?

• A. Assembling step sustained
• B. Assembling step over
• C. Assembling step under
• D. Assembling step in succession over and under

Answer: (A)

Assemblé soutenu is about a jump that ends with a held, controlled finish. The assembling part (assemblé) means the dancer brings the feet together in the air and lands in a closed position, usually in fifth. The word soutenu adds the idea of a sustained, held finish rather than a quick or hasty landing. So it translates as an assembling step that is sustained. The other options don’t fit because they imply movements or orders (like jumping over/under or moving in succession) that don’t describe a held, closed landing.
