Which term means 'Circle of the leg'?

• A. A terre
• B. en dehors
• C. Rond de jambe
• D. En dedans

Answer: (C)

Rond de jambe literally means “circle of the leg,” and it names the movement of tracing a circular path with the working leg. That direct translation is exactly what the prompt is asking for. The circle can be performed on the floor or in the air (à terre or en l’air) and can go en dehors (outward) or en dedans (inward), but the term itself is specifically about drawing a circle with the leg. The other terms describe either where the movement is done (on the floor) or the direction of the circle, not the action of circling itself.
