Which term refers to rises?

• A. Temps Leve
• B. Releves
• C. Pas de chat
• D. Echappe

Answer: (B)

Rising upward is described by relevé—the action of lifting the body onto the demi-pointe or pointe from a plié. Relevé is the controlled ascent you use to balance and prepare for further steps, emphasizing length, turnout, and even weight distribution through the foot as you rise. The other terms describe different movements: temps levé is a jump from one foot to the other, pas de chat is a small airborne transfer of weight with a cat-like cat-like shape, and échappé is a sliding movement from a closed to an open position. So the term that specifically refers to rises is relevé.
