32. The Ballet Positions, 3-4 THE FIVE POSITIONS. 

The most wonderful five motions within the knowledge of men. 

They are the Alphabet with which we spell every combination known as Steps in dancing. The Foundation
movements of all that is beautiful in the Art Divine. 

If the use of the positions has another object, viz: the turning out of the toes, without which
neither graceful or artistic movements can be acquired, the Ballet positions, as given below
must be used to effectually accomplish anything, By using the Ballet positions all muscular
extension, development and strength desired is obtained. Other movements, and exercises
necessary for skill, agility, etc. will be found in steps of dances herein, viz: Leaps, Hops,
Jumps, Getes, Leap Pirouette, Jumping Rock, Coupe Battements, Side Leaps, etc. 

The Ballet Positions are necessary to be used in executing steps herein described. 

1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, mean the position to be taken. 

This sign means Repeat. 

R. Means right foot, arm, or line of direction. 

L. " left " " " " 

(&.) Means an uncounted motion, or one for which there is no beat in the bar or measure of music.
The & motion occupies the same position in dancing that a grace note does in music, or a catch
step in marching. 

(1,) (2,) (3,) (4,) etc. Means the count of the steps in unison with the beats to the measure of
the music of the dance. ASSEM. 

Assembling of the feet, bringing them together. A closed position, viz: 1st, 3rd and 5th Pos.
LEAP. 

A springing movement, changing weight from one foot to the other, once or repeatedly. HOP.

Standing on R. with L. raised, sink, bending the R. knee, spring up, realighting on R. with L.
still up, would be a hop on R., same from standing on L. would be a hop on L. LEAP-HOP. 

Standing on R. with L. up, leap on L. raise R. holding R. up. Hop on L. is leap-hop L. Leap on R. raise
L. Hop on R. is leap-hop R. 

The leap-hop is frequently used in these dances. JUMP. 

Standing on both, sink, spring up from the floor, realighting on both, in either closed position.
This is not done in dancing from a flat position, but from ball, or on toes. WING-JUMP. 

Standing in 3d or 5th, sink, spring up, changing feet from front to rear, as many times as possible
before realighting in Pos. started from. Doing twenty wing-jumps in succession is fine practice.
POINT. 

Whenever the foot is raised from the slightest to the highest position, the toe must be pointed,
(bent down) as much as possible. Whenever the heel raises the toe points. PLAIN PIROUETTE.

Standing in closed position, step R. to 2d (1,) cross L. to 2d over R. (2,) raise on both toes and
twist to complete the turn, weighting rear foot, leaving front in 4th pointed, (3.) This would
be R. Pirouette one bar, 3-4 Tempo. Same to L. would be L. Pirouette. Same movements are also
made for Pirouette in 4-4 Tempo, holding the third count, one more count, (4.) FLAT PIROUETTE.

Same as Plain Pirouette, only on third count quickly raise front foot up to a high 5th. Mostly
used for a "Come On" movement. LEAP PIROUETTE. 

Step R. to 2d, (1,) Coupe leap high L. to 2nd over R. turning half. (2,) Coupe R. to 4th or 5th, rear,
twist to finish turn, (3,) 1 bar, 3-4 Tempo. For 4-4 Tempo, the twist counts (3-4,) no more motions
but one more count Same to L. when required, begin with L. JETE. 

Standing closed Po. Leap on R. at same time cut L. to 5th up, either front or rear is Gete. The cut
to 5th is the Gete. Two, three or four successive Getes are sometimes required. Leap from R.
to L. any number of times desired, cutting up foot to front or rear, as the case may be, is Getes.
JETE-DOUBLE.

Same with L. ad-lib as desired. Opposite steps for Lady. IN CONCLUSION. ARMS. 

The bendings being naturally, always, toward the unweighted foot, the arms would go to opposite
direction, viz: When the bend is to the L. the R. arm would be up and curved with L. across front,
curved, elbow out, fingers touching breast. In Pirouettes, both arms extended and up, even
with shoulders, or holding skirt out to sides, and arms up working skirt from wrist, even or
alternate motions up and down. Strictly following the dictates of nature, you cannot move
the arms wrong in dancing, it won't work. The thing is, keep them up and moving. 

Volumes have been written upon the arm movements illustrated by cuts, etc. Works upon Delsarte,
and the so called Physical Culture, (fake) Elocution, etc., are published purporting to teach
graceful and harmonious movements, etc. They give their votaries only half a loaf. The Ballet
gives its votaries the whole loaf and a little more. The half they use is taken. borrowed or stolen,
whichever you like best, from the Ballet, being there used five hundred years before Physical
Culture, (the modern) or Delsarte were born. Elocution has been used and known in Italy, Greece,
and Egypt, ever since time immemorial. An Actor, also Statesmen, were trained Elocutionists,
using everything in Delsarte.

pupils, and call it the "Scotch Lassies Dance.

she tells some of their fortunes. The young ladies entreat her to dance. She reluctantly consents
and does the great "Witch Dance," then wends her way back up the mountain, In the meantime the
Beaux have hid themselves. The young ladies discovering their absence, begin a search for
them, introducing some very pretty delsarte movements. The absconding Beaux are found, drawn
out of their hiding places, and required to finish their dance STEP SIX.

The Author, in presenting this composition, wishes to say that he hopes it will find its merited
favor with all teachers. The Author has used it several years in his classes, pupils all like
it. It is a splendid way to get pupils to practise the movements in its composition, which means
the cultivation of grace, elegance and style. MINUET DE LA COUR. 

As first danced by Louis XIV, at Poiteau France, in 1653. This dance is given as taught to the
Author, first by his father, afterwards by Mons. Jean Baptiste Hortez, of St. Louis, Mo. Mr.
Hortez, if now living. would be almost a Centenarian. Mr. Hortez, learned it in Paris when a
boy, studying and preparing for his chosen profession. 

Coming from two such reliable sources, confidence is felt in giving it for as near the original
dance as can perhaps now be secured. Several "Minuet de la Cours" have been seen by the author
in different publications. Given as interpreted by their authors, the descriptions therein
given were so vague and difficult that few could make them out. 

It is hoped the following description will be sufficiently plain, and so comprehensible that
all may find all difficulties removed. This dance is strictly and only for one couple, two or
more couples will spoil it all. This couple must be handsomely dressed in court costume of the
above date, though for private entertainments it looks very well in modern full evening dress.

If danced at a private entertainment the lady should be seated, the gent some distance away.
At beginning of the music the gent advances to the lady with Pas Mar. three steps to the bar. The
lady remaining seated, both bow, gent offers R hand, the lady rising, places her L hand in gent's
R., arms extended, high as gent's shoulder, proceed with Pas Mar. to position, as marked X gent,
O lady. If on stage, Pas Mar. on to position from wings, as "Come On." 

The dance is done on the following Diagram, which should not be less than twenty feet square.

When teaching the dance, draw a diagram on the floor. 

When hands are joined, they should always be up, a little higher than the gent's shoulder, keeping
almost arms length apart, elbows a little curved. 

The dancers should look pleasantly at each other throughout the dance. 

Everything in the beauty and elegance of this most stately old dance, depends upon the style
and manner of the dancers. The grave and dignified movements, steps neatly done, graceful
presentation of the hands. These, with the costumes, music, and other surroundings, are requisite
accompaniments to make this beautiful dance perfect. COME ON (to X O.)
