Ronds de Jambe describes which movement?

• A. Warm-up Circles
• B. Leg Circles Backward
• C. Circles of the Leg
• D. Leg Circles to the Side

Answer: (C)

Rond de jambe is a circular movement of the working leg, tracing a semicircle around the hip. In Cecchetti terminology this is described as the Circles of the Leg because the exercise centers on the leg making a circle (or half-circle) path, often on the floor, to warm up the hip and develop turnout and control. The other descriptions refer to general circle shapes or directions rather than naming the action itself, so they don’t capture what rond de jambe is about.
