First Position in Three Motions.
One.—Move the hands smartly to the rear, the left grasping the right just above the elbow, and the right supporting the left arm under the elbow.
Two.—Half turn to the left, turning on the heels, so that the back of the left touches the inside of the right heel, the head retaining its position to the front.
Three.—Bring the right heel before the left, the feet at right angles, the right foot pointing to the front.
Second Position in Two Motions.
One.—Bend the knees gradually, keeping them as much apart as possible without raising the heels, or changing the erect position of the body.
Two.—Step out smartly with the right foot about eighteen inches in line with the left heel, bringing the foreleg to the perpendicular, and retaining the left as in preceding motion, the weight of the body resting equally upon both legs.
Third Position in One Motion.
One.—Step forward to about thirty-six inches, the right knee remaining perpendicular to the instep, the left knee straight and firm, and foot flat upon the ground, the body upright, and the shoulders square to the left.
