Which term means 'chain of steps'?

• A. Coupé
• B. Dessus
• C. Enchaînements
• D. Pas de chat

Answer: (C)

Enchaînements describe a chain of steps. In ballet vocabulary, it means linking several movements together so the sequence flows in one continuous phrase with smooth weight transfers. It’s the term used to test a dancer’s ability to connect steps fluidly and maintain musicality across a sequence. The other terms refer to individual actions or positions rather than a linked sequence: coupé is a small cutting action to change feet, dessus means over or an over-crossing idea used in various footwork or jumps, and pas de chat is a specific jump in which the feet pass through a cat-like motion. So the concept of a connected sequence of steps is captured by enchaînements.
