Which term means 'to the outside'?

• A. En dehors
• B. battement frappé
• C. Sauté
• D. En dedans

Answer: (A)

In Cecchetti ballet, directional terms describe where the movement goes relative to the body. En dehors means moving to the outside, away from the center or away from the supporting leg, so it fits the prompt “to the outside.” This term is used to describe steps or turns that travel outward from the midline. The other terms aren’t about outward direction: battement frappé is a specific beating stroke of the foot, not a directional cue; sauté means a jump; en dedans means toward the inside, the opposite of outside.
