As you progress in your ballet journey, understanding the dynamics of the dance studio becomes crucial. The Vaganova ballet room corners and walls hold significant importance in creating structure and direction within your movements. These designated spaces allow you to navigate the studio effectively, enhancing your spatial awareness and precision.
Now, let's explore the fundamental body positions that you'll encounter in the ballet center:
1. **Croisé Devant/Derrière**: Positioned at a diagonal angle, with one foot crossed in front of the other. "Devant" indicates front, and "Derrière" indicates back.
2. **En Face À la Seconde/À la Quatrième Devant/À la Quatrième Derrière/**: "En Face" means facing the front. "À la Seconde" means that the working leg is to the side, "À la Quatrième Devant" refers to the working leg placed in front, "À la Quatrième Derrière" means the working leg is to the back.
3. **Écarté Devant/Derrière**: "Écarté" implies "separated" or "thrown wide." "Devant" and "Derrière" refer to whether the working leg is in front or back.
4. **Effacé Devant/Derrière**: "Effacé" translates to "shaded." Similar to écarté, "Devant" and "Derrière" indicate whether the working leg is in front or back.
5. **Épaule Devant/Derrière**: "Épaule" signifies "shoulder." "Devant" and "Derrière" denote whether the working leg is in front or back.
