Note: The direction of each step or weight change is 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,

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.
