There are ten Sorts of Positions generally us’d in Dancing, which are divided into True and False.

The True, are when the Feet are plac’d uniform, and have the Toes turn’d out equally.

The False, are some of them uniform, others not, and differ from the True, in that, the Toes are turn’d inward, or one in, and the other out.

In all Positions whatsoever, the Form of the Foot is known by these Marks, viz. That which resembles an O, represents the Heel; the Line join’d to it, the Ankle; and the Extremity of that Line, the Point of that Foot.

A half Position.

This Figure of the Foot, is but a half Position, because it represents but one Foot, whereas a whole Position does that of two, as in the Figure A B.

’Tis to be observ’d, that the Letter A, in the foregoing Figure, represents the left Foot, and B, the right.
