| Pieds - Cinq positions des (five positions of the feet) |
| First Position (Premiere Position) In this position the feet form one line, heels touching one another. |
| Second Position (Seconde Position) The feet are on the same line but with a distance of about one foot between the heels. |
| Third Position (Troisieme Position) In the third position one foot is in front of the other, heels touching the middle of the other foot. |
| Forth Position (Quatrieme Position) In the forth position the placement of the feet is similar to the third position, the feet being parallel and separated by the length of one foot. |
| Fifth Position (Cinquieme Position) The feet are crossed so that the first joint of the big tow shows beyond either heel. |

| There are five basic positions of the feet in classical ballet, and every step or movement is begun and ended in one or another of these positions, which were established by Pierre Beauchamp, maitre de ballet of the Academie Royale de Musique et de Danse from 1671 to 1687. |
