Rules
 TIP
ONE
Three golden rules for arms (except where choreographed
otherwise):
1. The arms should never move to or be held in a position
behind the ears.
2. The hands should never cross the centerline of the body.
3. In any arabesque, the shoulder of the front arm is never
lower than the shoulder of the side arm.
TIP TWO
Three more golden rules:
1. At the barre, when turning to repeat an exercise on the
other side, dancers should always turn toward the barre.
2. When dancers must pass each other on the stage, those on
stage left always pass in front of those on stage right.
3. Whenever the foot is lifted off the floor, it must be
stretched to a full point.
