Which term refers to 'First carriage of the arms'?

Port de bras Seconde port de bras Première port de bras Troisième port de bras

Correct Answer:

Première port de bras

Explanation:

Port de bras describes how the arms are carried in ballet, and the numbers tell you which carriage of the arms you’re using. The first carriage places the arms rounded in front of the body, forming a gentle arc at about chest height. That specific position is called Première port de bras, which is why it’s the correct term for “First carriage of the arms.” The general term without a number refers to arm carriage overall, while the others describe different placements (to the side, or a different arc) used in other exercises.
