Développé et Temps Lié describes which concept?

• A. Developing or unfolding movement; connecting movement
• B. A turning jump
• C. A balance on one leg
• D. A quick beat of the feet

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how unfolding of the leg combines with a connected timing in movement. Développé means lengthening the leg from a bent or retiré position into an extended line, showing the leg unfolding with control. Temps lié, literally “time linked,” is the quality of movement that stays connected and smoothly transfers weight from one foot to the other, rather than stopping or breaking the line.

When you put them together, you have a movement where the leg develops out into full extension while the body remains connected through the transfer of weight. This pairing best describes a seamless, controlled unfoldment with a continuous connection, which is exactly what this term is getting at. It isn’t about a turning jump, a balance on one leg, or a rapid beat of the feet.
