Introduction to Ballet Basics: Positions

The following instructions are created to help you improve your basic ballet knowledge by teaching the positions that will be used throughout the entirety of your dancing career. 

Step 1: First Position: Front

Feet: To create first position, put both of your feet together facing forward. Then, turn your feet out until they line up with your hips. By doing this, you are now in first position. 

Arms: You arms should be low, making almost an "O" shape.
