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.
