DIRECTIONAL MOVEMENTS
When describing figures and steps, movement of the feet and body are indicated with directional movements. The following illustration represents the most common directional movements:
Movements which are not directional include:
 |
One foot closing to the other, with a change of weight. |
|
One foot "brushing" next to the other foot, or closing without a change of weight. |
|
A tap, kick, or pointing of the free foot in place. |
|
"Position Held" (Usually, this refers to the position of the feet only. Often, there will still be movement occurring in the body, even when the feet are staying still). |
CBMP stands for Contra Body Motion Position. This is a position of the feet where one foot is placed along the path of the other, either in front or behind.
