terminates in a
Position
, there ought to be no Foot at the end of it, because the half
Position
, to which it is join’d, serves for that.
| A Step to the first Position forwards. | The same backwards. | A Step to the third Position forwards. | The same backwards. | A Step to the third Position before. | The same behind. |
| A rising Step on both Feet in the Second Postion. | A Spring on both Feet in the Second Postion. | A Rise on both Feet in the fourth Position. | A Spring on both Feet in the fourth Position. | A Rise on both Feet in the fifth Position. | A Spring on both Feet in the fifth Position. |
A Position at the end of a Step, may be also known by adding to the Step a half Position, because the Representation of the Foot, which is at the Extremity of the Step, is made Use of, upon this Occasion, for a half Position; and a half Position join’d to it, is the same as a whole Position.
| A join’d Step. | An inclos’d Step. |
The Same Rule must be observ’d in beaten Steps, viz. That the half Position represents the Foot, against which the other beats; and whereby you may know whether the Beat be made on the Instep, behind the Heel, against the Ankle, or against the side of the Foot.
| A Beat on the Instep. | A Beat behind. | A Beat on the Instep, and a move behind. | A Beat behind and before. | A Beat above and below. | The same four times. |
| A Beat on the Ankle. | A beat 4 times on the Ankle, & behind the Heel. | A Beat sidewards, moving forwards. | The same backwards. | The same twice, moving forwards. | The same, moving backwards. |
