Which term corresponds to turns in fifth position on a diagonal line?

• A. Balancé en Ecarté
• B. Tours en Cinquième en Diagonale
• C. Grande Révérence
• D. Trois Soussus et Une Échappé Relevé Changé

Answer: (B)

In Cecchetti notation, when you see turns described as happening in fifth position on a diagonal, the phrase used is Tours en Cinquième en Diagonale. Here, “Tours” means turns or pirouettes, “Cinquième” indicates the feet are in fifth position, and “en Diagonale” tells you to travel along a diagonal line across the floor. This combination specifically labels turning while moving diagonally, which is distinct from a balancing movement (Balancé en Écarté), a ceremonial bow (Grande Révérence), or a sequence involving sous-sus and a relevé changé (Trois Soussus et Une Échappé Relevé Changé).
