The origin of ballet hand position and foot position

The sources of ballet hands and feet are as follows:

First, the ballet hand type. ?

Before learning the position of the hand, you must first learn the shape of the dexterous hand: the fingertip of the thumb should touch the root of the middle finger very lightly, and the other fingers should be slightly bent and close together. This shape is only required for beginners. At that time, because students could not arrange and control their movements, their fingers were easily nervous. In the future, the shape of the hand will become more natural, and the thumb does not need to touch the middle finger, but faces the palm. ?

So far, China has taken the following seven positions:

One hand hangs naturally, and the elbow and wrist are slightly rounded. The arms and hands are oval, placed in front of the body, and the middle fingers of the hands are opposite, leaving a punch interval. ?

Hold the oval with both hands and lift it to the height of the horizontal barrier. (the middle of the upper body, above the waist, below the chest) However, in the process of initiative, we should pay attention to the stability of the two support points of elbow and finger. ?

Three hands are raised continuously on the basis of two people and placed above the forehead. Don't swing back too much. Three hands are like putting their heads in an oval frame. ?

Four hands, the left hand is still, and the right hand is cut back to two, forming four. It's already dancing. ?

Five hands, the left hand is still, and the right hand is bent into an ellipse. Start from the fingertips and gradually open to the side. In this process, the two supporting points of elbow and finger should be attached to a horizontal plane. Put your hands in front of your body and don't turn back too hard, so as to play the role of continuous shoulder line. ?

Six hands, the right hand is still, and the left hand is reduced from three hands to two, forming six, forming a dance. ?

Hold your right hand, turn your left hand to one side, and put your hands on your sides. ?

When finished, draw a small half circle from the seventh position (palm forward) by hand, palm down, stretch to both sides, bend the drooping elbow first, and gradually send it to a position. ?

Over. Six hands, the right hand is still, and the left hand is reduced from three hands to two, forming six, forming a dance. Hold your right hand, turn your left hand to one side, and put your hands on your sides. ?

When finished, draw a small half circle from the seventh position (palm forward) by hand, palm down, stretch to both sides, bend the drooping elbow first, and gradually send it to a position. Over. ?

Second, the foot position of ballet. ?

The five basic positions of feet in ballet are the earliest measures for students to learn. Not only because of conciseness, most movements in the ballet lecture hall start and end with one of these five postures. Opening to the outside world is not easy, but it is not terrible. It takes time and persistent efforts. Some people are naturally open-minded, and the following measures can be achieved casually. Some people are not very open, but with more practice, they will gradually meet the requirements. ?

One foot is fully open. The two heels intersect to form a horizontal line. ?

Take one foot as the root, and turn one foot sideways at intervals. According to the size of my feet.

Three feet, one in front of the other. The front heel is close to the center of the back foot. The front foot covers half of the back foot. ?

Four feet, one foot turned forward from five, and two feet were separated by one foot. The front heel is in line with the rear toe. ?

The five feet are close together, the heel of one foot is close to the toe of the other foot, and the front foot completely covers the back foot. ?
