In first position, your heel touches your other heel, and your feet are turned out and your knees are straight.In second position, y0ur legs are straight , and your heels don't touch, and your legs are apart. In third position, one foot in parallell, and the other is right below your big toe, and is pointed out. In fourth position your legs are straight , but your legs are apart. It is just like third position except your legs are spread apart. In fifth position, one of your feet is turned out and the other is pointing sideways, touching your heel to your big toe. Your knees are straight. The five positions take a lot of practice.
