Which movement is part of the Adage sequence as a Déployé movement?

• A. Relevé en Cinquième
• B. Demi-Detourné
• C. Degagé à la Seconde
• D. Pas de bourrée dessous

Answer: (C)

In the Adage sequence, you look for a smooth, controlled extension of the leg to form a long line, showing how the leg can be deployed while maintaining turnout and balance. Degagé à la seconde fits this idea perfectly because it is a precise, small brush off the floor that extends the working leg into the second position with a fully pointed foot, creating that deployed, elegant line central to Adage practice. Relevé en Cinquième is about rising to fifth position, not deploying to second; Demi-Detourné is a turning movement, not a deployment to second; Pas de bourrée dessous is a traveling step, not a deployment action.
