Which term means Developed or unfolded?

• A. Développé
• B. Relevé
• C. Pas de chat
• D. Temps levé

Answer: (A)

Développé means developed or unfolded. It describes a movement where the working leg, starting bent, is gradually drawn up to passé and then extended outward into a straight line, unfolding into a long, clean pose. The idea is the leg grows from a compact shape into its full length, while maintaining turnout and proper alignment. The other terms describe different actions—relevé is lifting onto pointe or demi-pointe, pas de chat is a small cat-like jump, and temps levé refers to a spring or jump with a lift—so they don’t convey the unfolding leg motion that développ é embodies.
