Piqué means?

Piqué means?

• A. Pricked
• B. Piqué
• C. Run
• D. Large thrown turned

Answer: (B)

In Cecchetti vocabulary, piqué is the labeled term for a sharp, pricking motion on the floor, where the dancer steps onto the ball of the foot with a pointed toe. The question asks what Piqué means, so the best answer is the term itself because it is the technical name used for that movement in ballet notation. The English word “pricked” describes what the toe does, but the exam is testing recognition of the actual term, not a translation. The other options don’t fit the naming convention: they are either translations or unrelated ideas. So the correct choice is the term itself, Piqué, as used in the Cecchetti system.
