Which option correctly states the translation mapping for 'Petits tours'?

• A. Petits tours equals Large steps
• B. Petits tours equals Tiny jumps
• C. Petits tours equals Small turns
• D. Petits tours equals Grand battement

Answer: (C)

Understanding French ballet terms: peti ts means small and tours means turns, so the phrase describes small turning movements. That makes small turns the correct translation. It’s about turning, not steps or jumps, and not a big leg beat. So the idea is quick, modest rotations rather than large movements like grand battement or jumps.
