Which term means 'half in the air'?

• A. En l'air
• B. En avant
• C. Demi en l'air
• D. Adage

Answer: (C)

In Cecchetti terminology, en l’air means the leg is lifted off the ground. Adding demi means half or halfway. So demi en l’air describes lifting the leg to a half-height while it’s in the air, rather than fully high or simply in the air overall. This is why it matches the phrase “half in the air.” The other terms refer to different concepts: en avant is forward, adage is a slow, sustained section, and en l’air without the demi qualifier doesn’t specify a partial height.
