Position of Arms

Positions of the Arms

In all positions, the hands follow the line of the arms and the fingers are softly grouped. The centre finger continues the curve of the inner arm and the thumb is in line with the index and middle fingers.

In bras bas, 1^st, and 5^th position, the arms are held slightly apart so that the centre fingers do not touch.
