Which term from the Additional Positions of the Body translates to 'à la Quatrième Devant'?

• A. Croisée Devant
• B. à la Seconde
• C. à la Quatrième Devant
• D. Croisée derrière

Answer: (C)

In Cecchetti’s Additional Positions of the Body, the names describe where the arms sit in relation to the body. à la Quatrième Devant means the arm is extended in front in the fourth position. So the term that translates to this phrase is the phrase itself, since it specifically names that front-fourth arm position. The other terms describe different alignments: Croisée Devant is an arm in front but crossed, Croisée derrière is crossed behind, and à la Seconde is the arm extended to the side in the second position.
