Which term best matches the description 'Turns or spins'?

• A. Pirouettes
• B. Trois relevés
• C. Adage
• D. Balance exercise pour pirouettes

Answer: (A)

Turns or spins in ballet are called pirouettes. A pirouette is a rotation on one foot, with the body turning around its axis, which matches the description of turns or spins. The other terms refer to different ideas: trois relevés means three rises, focusing on elevation rather than turning; adage is a slow, expressive movement section rather than a turn; and balance exercise pour pirouettes is a drill to develop balance for performing turns, not the turns themselves.
