Which is a correct pair from the material?

• A. Glissade Derrière, Assemblé Dessus
• B. Sissonne en Arrière, assembé Devant
• C. Pas de Bourrée Dessous, Pas de Bourrée Dessus
• D. Échappés Sautés Changés, Pas de Bourrées Dessous et Changements de Pieds

Answer: (A)

In this level, you’re looking for a natural two-part phrase that comes from the graded material, showing how steps flow into each other with clear direction and landing. The pairing Glissade Derrière followed by Assemblé Dessus fits that pattern: a glissade behind moves the working foot behind the supporting leg, setting up a precise arrival where the working foot meets the supporting foot in the air and lands in fifth, with the landing described as dessus. This sequence demonstrates how a behind glide leads into a clean, elevated assemblé on the dessus side, exactly the kind of linked pair you’d expect to see in the Grade 4 material. The other options don’t align with the standard two-part phrases from the material. They mix movements or directions that aren’t presented together as a recognized paired phrase in this grade, such as combining sissonne with a different landing, or pairing bourrées in a way that isn’t shown as a single paired sequence, or including leaps and changes that don’t form the expected material pairing.
