_Third Position of Hands Amplified_ (Fig. 72).—Extend the hands to the sides in a straight line with the shoulders; if this position is to be maintained turn the palms toward the floor, with the thumb under the middle finger. _Fourth Position of the Right Foot in Front_ (Fig. 72).—Move the right foot directly forward about 12 inches in front of the left foot, as in the figure, toe touching the floor, heel raised; instep arched. Counterpart for left foot. _Fourth Position of Hands_ (Fig. 73).—Move hands and arms up until the hands are about 3 feet apart above the head; palms toward each other, arms nearly straight as in the figure. _Fourth Position of Right Foot in Back_ (Fig. 73).—Move right foot about 12 inches back until in line with left foot, toe touching floor, heel raised as in the figure. Counterpart for left foot. _Fifth Position of Hands and Feet_ (Fig. 74).—Move hands more closely together until about 6 inches apart; palms toward each other and the arms very slightly bent as in the figure. The right toe touches the left heel in back, or right heel touches left toe in front as in the figure. The feet are at right angles. Counterpart for left foot. _Elevated Position of the Feet._—The second and fourth positions may be elevated by extending the leg and foot at right angles to the body. See Figs. 70, 72, 78, 82, 83, and 84. The third and fifth positions become elevated by raising the foot, toe pointed to the floor, as in combination of steps, Figs. 78 and 82. N. B.—In elevated positions the toe must be extended so that the foot and leg form a straight line. =Simple Exercises Using the Fundamental Positions.=—Stand with feet in first position; hands in first position (Fig. 69).—_Exercise 1._—Move right foot to second position (Fig. 70), and back to first position four times. Left foot the same. _Exercise 2._—Move right foot from fourth position in front (Fig. 72) to fifth position in front (Fig. 74). Repeat four times. Right foot in back (Fig. 73), fourth to fifth, four times. Left foot in back, fourth to fifth, four times. _Exercise 3._—Move right foot from second position to third in front, to second, to third in back. Repeat four times. Left foot the same. To make the exercise more difficult, hold the skirt extended with the hands in the second position (see Fig. 77). Or arms extended in third position amplified, palms down, which is very difficult. Music in 6/8 time will add interest. =Arm Movements.=—_Exercise 4._—Move hands from first position to second and back to first. Repeat four times. N. B.—Draw the hands away from each other by the wrists, and toward each other by the wrists. The hands should move as though trailed through water.
