Which term contains both 'Derrière' and 'Dessus' repeated?

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

Answer: (D)

In this kind of Cecchetti reading, you’re looking for a line that uses both Derrière and Dessus, and more importantly, uses them more than once within the same sequence. The line that fits does exactly that: it lists Glissade Derrière, Assemblé Dessus, then repeats the same pair—Glissade Derrière, Assemblé Dessus—and ends with Pas de Bourrée Dessous twice. So Derrière appears twice and Dessus appears twice in the same sequence. The other options don’t show both terms repeated in the same line: some have only one of the terms, or use Dessous instead of Dessus, so they don’t meet the criterion.
