    A. False

    It is possible to do an Attitude and a Sauté at the same time.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    It is possible to do an Attitude and a Sauté at the same time because these are two different dance moves that can be performed simultaneously. Attitude is a ballet position where one leg is lifted to the front or back while the body is balanced on the other leg. Sauté, on the other hand, is a jump where both feet leave the ground at the same time. Therefore, it is possible to execute both moves simultaneously.

    Explanation
    The given statement is false. An Assemblé is a ballet movement where the dancer starts with one foot on the ground, jumps into the air, and brings the other foot to meet it before landing on both feet. It is not a springing step where the dancer jumps off from both feet and lands on both feet.
