Of the Movement of the Arms.
John Weaver translation
Although the Carriage and
Movement
of the
Arms
depend more on the Fancy of the Performer, than on any certain Rules, I shall nevertheless lay down some Examples, which will explain, by demonstrative Characters, the different
Motion
of the
Arms
in
Dancing
; or at least, will inform you what Characters to make Use of in describing the
Motion
of the
Arms
, to the Movement of each
Step
.
The Arm is represented by the Letters ABC, of which A represents the Shoulder, B the Elbow, and C the Wrist.
The Arm streight The Wrist bent. The Arm bent. The Arm quite before.
