Beginner's Guide to Highland Dance: Fundamental Positions and Techniques

The correct answer describes the specific positioning of the foot when placed on the half point, which involves only the pads of the first two or three toes being in contact with the ground.

In classical ballet, the correct first position for the feet is heels together with the weight evenly distributed on both feet, turned out to form a 90-degree angle.

In the second position, the working leg is extended to the side at a 90 degree angle from the line of direction with the toe and heel in line with the supporting foot. This position allows for proper balance and alignment in dance movements.

The correct position for third position feet in dance involves placing the working foot in contact with the supporting foot and turning it out at a 90-degree angle from the line of direction.

The correct third position foot placement in dance requires equal weight distribution on both feet, with the front foot directly over the instep of the rear foot and both feet turned out at an angle not less than 45 degrees.

Third Rear in dance refers to the correct alignment of the feet in a specific position. The correct answer provides a detailed explanation of the alignment for third rear, while the incorrect answers deviate from the correct alignment and provide false information.

The correct execution of the third rear aerial position involves specific placement of the working foot behind the supporting leg, ensuring the knee is pressed back and the foot remains obscured from view.

In Fourth Position, the working leg is extended to the front with both heels in line with the line of direction, while the working foot is placed only on the toe or half point turned out at an angle of 45 degrees.

The correct answer describes the second position arms and note in dance, where one arm is in first position and the other is raised to the side with specific hand and palm orientation. The incorrect answers provide different arm positions that do not accurately reflect the second position in dance.

Third Position arms in dance involve positioning both arms in a specific way as described in the correct answer. The incorrect answers describe different arm positions that do not align with the Third Position arms technique.
