Stand with your heels together and your toes pointed outwards, forming a straight line with your feet. Your arms are typically rounded in front of you with your palms facing each other.
Start with your feet apart, wider than your shoulders, toes pointing outward. Your arms can be extended to the sides, parallel to the floor.
Begin with one foot placed in front of the other, with the heel of the front foot touching the middle of the back foot. Your arms can be held in a rounded position in front of you, similar to first position.
Start with one foot placed in front of the other, but with more space between them than in third position. The heel of the front foot should align with the toes of the back foot. Your arms can be held in various positions, such as rounded in front or extended to the sides.
This is considered the most turned-out position. Bring one foot directly in front of the other, with the heel of the front foot touching the toe of the back foot. Your arms can be held in a rounded position in front of you or raised above your head in a graceful manner.
In folk dance, mastering these fundamental principles is essential for dancers to authentically embody the spirit of their culture and share its richness with the world.
