before, you would have at least heard of the
five fundamental positions of the arms and
feet. For those of you who don’t know what it
is, it’s a technique almost always taught in
dancing that involves mainly the arms and feet.
Since we are in the first grade, the five
fundamental positions of the arms and feet
were always taught to us in the first term. It
was helpful to practice many aspects of
dancing, such as timing, flexibility, and more.”
