Which term translates to 'In back'?

• A. Derrière
• B. Devant
• C. Souter
• D. Glisser

Answer: (A)

In Cecchetti ballet, directions are given in French to describe where a movement or body part is located. The term that means behind or at the back is the one that translates to “in back.” Derrière carries that exact meaning, indicating something positioned at the rear relative to the body or the audience. Devant means in front, so it’s the opposite. Glisser is a movement word meaning to glide, not a location. The remaining term isn’t a standard descriptor for back in Cecchetti vocabulary. So the term for “in back” is derrière.
