Five Fundamental Positions of the Arms and Feet

Very expressive movements of the feet and arms characterize Philippine folk dances. These movements are a combination of the five fundamental positions of the arms and feet whether the pace of the dance steps is slow or fast.

Arms Positions:

First position- raise arms to a circle in front of the chest.

Second position – open up arms sideward, raised below shoulder level with a graceful curve.

Third position – raise one arm overhead while the other arm remains in 2nd position.

Fourth position – raise one arm in front of the chest in a half-circle, while one arm remains overhead.

Fifth position – raise both arms overhead in a graceful curve.


Feet Positions:

First position – bring heels close to touching; toes apart.

Second position – bring feet apart sideward.

Third position – bring the heel of one foot to touch the instep of the other foot.

Fourth position – bring one foot in front of the other foot to walk strike.

Fifth position – bring the heel of one foot to touch the toe of the other.

Truly helpful for my assignment! Although, if it would so happen, I wish there would be a similar illustration of the fundamental steps in stick figures...It would be easier to draw in that state. Meh, nevertheless this really helped with the descriptions and whatnots and was far more better than the other one I found. Thank you very much!
