Which term corresponds to the meaning 'Above'?

• A. En haut
• B. Sissone
• C. Glissade
• D. Fermé

Answer: (A)

En haut is the term that means above. In ballet vocabulary, especially in Cecchetti, en haut is used to indicate a raised or elevated position—things held above the body, such as arms lifted overhead (bras en haut) or a leg raised higher than the neutral line. The other terms describe different ideas: a sissone is a jump, glissade is a sliding step across the floor, and fermé means closed (feet or legs held together in a closed position). So the word that communicates the idea of something being above is en haut.
