Which term means 'In front'?

Chassé Devant Derrière Soutenu

Correct Answer:

Devant

Explanation:

Devant is the term used in ballet to indicate something is in front—toward the front of the body or toward the audience. This French word is the standard label for frontward placement in movements or positions. Derrière means behind, chassé is a gliding side-step, and soutenu refers to a sustained turn, not front/back direction. So when the question asks for “in front,” devant is the appropriate choice.
