Which term describes Lifted movement (a hop on one leg)?

• A. Temps levé
• B. Relevé
• C. Grand battement
• D. Arabesque

Answer: (A)

Temps levé captures a moment of lift on one leg—a small hop where the dancer rises off the floor on the supporting leg, often with the other leg in a raised position as part of the movement. The emphasis is the lifted, momentary departure from the floor, which matches the idea of a hop on one leg. Relevé is only rising onto demi-pointe without a jump, grand battement is a large leg swing, and arabesque is a pose with the leg extended behind. So the lifted, hopping-on-one-leg action is described by temps levé.
