Which term is described as 'Balancing exercise for turns or spins'?

• A. Balance exercise pour pirouettes
• B. Quatrième port de bras
• C. Battements tendus
• D. Pirouettes

Answer: (A)

Balance exercise pour pirouettes is the term that names a drill specifically aimed at keeping balance during turns. In Cecchetti practice, this exercise trains the dancer to control the core, maintain proper posture, and stabilize alignment while spinning, which is essential for clean pirouettes. The other terms refer to different concepts: a fixed arm position (fourth port de bras), a leg movement ( battements tendus), or the turns themselves (pirouettes). So this phrase directly describes the balancing preparation needed for turns.
