That is, the stage directly in front of the first, right in front of the second direction, the right side for the third direction, the right side of the back for the fourth direction, right behind the fifth direction, the left side of the back of the sixth direction, the left side of the seventh direction, the left side of the front for the eighth direction. For the convenience of narration the first to the eighth bearings are abbreviated as points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 in that order.
[Body orientation] Dance movements are mostly in this orientation. That is, the body itself before, after, left, right for the positioning: divided into the front, right after, left side, right side, left side before, right side before, left side after, right side after.

The right hand does the movement of "pan hand", that is, the right "pan hand" and so on. Therefore, in dance training, it is often referred to as the left "XX", right "XX".
