Third Position

Third position is when a person stands with their feet apart and one leg slightly in front of the other. Third position is a position that people often find themselves in when they are dancing. It is a balanced position, so it is easier to move around in and makes the moves look more graceful. If a person is standing in third position, they will have one foot a bit more in front of the other, with their toes slightly turned in.
