The
different methods of training call the basic arm positions by different
names. We show those used by the Imperial Society of teachers of Dancing,
Cecchetti, and Royal Academy of Dancing methods.
Port
de bras means "carriage of the arms". Your arms should move
smoothly between the various positions and you can at the same time
transfer the weight from o e foot to the other. At a later stage, your
body also may be used in forward, backward or side bends, or a circular
movement incorporating all these.
