FOOT
POSITIONS
1st FOOT Position FEET
TOGETHER. Stand with feet together, heels touching and toes just slightly apart (about the
width of the thumb) in a natural position. |
|
2nd FOOT Position FEET
DIRECTLY APART. From 1st foot position, move one foot directly to the side, more or less
equivalent to the length of the foot. |
|
3rd FOOT Position HEEL
TO INSTEP. The instep of one foot touches the heel of the other foot. Back foot is on an
angle that will allow both knees to face forward when bent. |
|
4th FOOT Position WALKING
STEP. Walk a straight line, with the center of the heel and the center of the big toe on
one line. When moving forward or backward, the 4th foot position is in a straight line.
When stationary, the position forms a curved line to maintain balance. |

5th FOOT Position HEEL
TO TOE. Touch the toe of one foot to the center of the heel of the other foot, in a
comfortable curve. |

CROSS FOOT Position Move

slightly lifting the heel off the floor. The heel of the moving foot brushes the toes of
the stationary foot. |
|
HOOK FOOT Position Move

the heel. The toe of the moving foot touches the heel of the stationary foot as it passes. |
