Temps lie means?

• A. Continuous movement
• B. Linked movement
• C. Slow motion
• D. Free movement

Answer: (B)

Temps lié signals a movement that is connected and coordinated through a transfer of weight from one foot to the other. The word lié means bound or linked, so the emphasis is on the continuity of the step—the weight shifts smoothly and the next position is prepared without a break in the flow. This makes linked movement the best description, because it highlights the connection between the footwork and the weight transfer itself, rather than implying a particular tempo, freedom, or a generic continuous motion. In practice, you’ll see temps lié as a moment where the movement remains in one connected line, with the working leg and supporting leg linked in sequence as you move to the next position.
