When movement requires performers to reproduce the exact end-path of the leader, which term describes this?

• A. Expand/Contract
• B. Follow the Leader
• C. Curved Paths
• D. Dragging

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is mirroring the leader’s final path. When performers must reproduce the exact end-path of the leader, they are following the leader. This means each follower watches where the leader finishes and moves in a way that their own end position and line-up match the leader’s precisely, preserving spacing and direction so the group finishes as a single, uniform unit. This approach is what creates that clean, coordinated ending, especially after complex movements or in tight formations. The other terms describe different concepts: expanding or contracting is about adjusting the distance between members, curved paths refer to the shape of the movement itself, and dragging implies lagging or being pulled along rather than actively matching the leader’s end path.
