Which term is defined as 'developed or unfolded'?

• A. Petits jeté
• B. Temps leve
• C. Developpe
• D. Echappe

Answer: (C)

Developpé describes the leg unfolding from a bent or drawn‑up position into a full, extended line. In Cecchetti technique you bring the working leg up to retiré or passé, then slowly unfold it to straight, maintaining turnout and pointed toes as you reach devant, à la seconde, or derrière. The term literally means to develop or unfold, which is exactly what the movement does—the leg grows out from a curved position into an extended line. This distinguishes it from actions like petits jetés (small jumps), temps levé (lifting the body to a raised time), or échappé (slipping from a closed to an open position), which describe different kinds of movement.
