Insight: Ballet glossary - arm positions

Romany Pajdak, Royal Ballet First Artist, demonstrates arm positions. Ballet uses strictly defined positions through which most arm movements travel. There are five basic positions: first, second, third, fourth, fifth. Read more: http://www.roh.org.uk/discover/ballet... First position: Both arms are held out in front of the body at approximately 80 degrees, maintaining rounded elbows and an oval shape, sloping down a little from the shoulders. Second position: Both arms are held out to the sides to form a strong horizontal, but with a slight slope downwards from shoulders to wrist. Third position: One arm is held forward in first position, the other is held to the side in second position. Fourth position: One arm is held to the side in second position, the other is raised up, slightly in front of the head. Fifth position: Both arms are raised up high almost vertically, but held slightly forward of the head.
