Of waving Positions, and half Positions — Orchesography by Raoul-Auger Feuillet

Of waving Positions, and half Positions.

Waving Position,

or half

Position,

is when the Foot

waves

turns

inwards or outwards, whether upon the

Toe,

the

Heel,

or with the

Foot

up, which is explain’d by a kind of

Half-Moon

proceeding from that place which represents either the

Heel

Toe,

and which demonstrates the Motion the

Heel

Toe

ought to make in

Waving.

If it be to wave upon the

Toe,

the

Crescent

Half-Moon

ought to be plac’d where the

Heel

is represented, tending towards the

Toes

on that side you are to wave; on the contrary, if the

waving

Step is to be done on the

Heel,

or with the Foot up, the

Crescent

must be in the place which represents the

Toes

tending towards the

Heel.

The same on both Toes.
