Which term means 'Sudden bound'?

Pirouette pour garçons Allegro Soubresaut Pas de bourrée devant et derrière

Correct Answer:

Soubresaut

Explanation:

A soubresaut is a sudden, quick bound in ballet vocabulary. It describes a brief, vigorous jump from both feet, usually landing in place rather than traveling, and it’s used to highlight the jump itself with a sharp, instant lift. The other terms point to different ideas: pirouette pour garçons is a male turn; Allegro refers to a fast, lively category of steps (not a single jump); and pas de bourrée devant et derrière is a three-step pattern moving front and back. So the term that means “Sudden bound” is soubresaut.
