Note: The direction of each step or
weight change is defined by points of the clock.
The direction that a dancer faces
may also be defined by points of the clock.
Stage “front” shall be denoted as
12:00; Stage “right” shall be denoted as 3:00;
Stage “back” shall be denoted as
6:00; and Stage “left” shall be denoted as 9:00.
Diagonal directions of travel shall
be denoted around the clock as 1:30, 4:30,
7:30, and 10:30, respectively. The
amount of rotation for pivots and turns is
determined from the amount of change
in clock directions and refers to the
rotation of the dancer’s footwork,
but does not necessarily indicate the amount of
body rotation, or the body’s
“facing” contra or open alignment while stepping.
