What is the "first position"?
The first position is one of the fundamental stances in ballet. In this position, the dancer stands with their heels together and toes turned out, forming a straight line or a slight V-shape with the feet. The legs are straight and the knees are kept together. The arms are usually rounded and held in front of the body, with the fingertips almost touching, creating a gentle curve. The first position is a starting point for many ballet movements and helps establish proper alignment, balance, and turnout. It is essential for building a solid foundation in ballet technique.
