The inclination of the body to the right, which reaches its maxir. .Fig. 22T. Fig. 228. PREPARATORY EXERCISES 105 mum in Fig. 226, is an instinctive reaction opposing the movementof the leg in the other direction. 194. The Grand Circle of the Leg—This is made from the hip,executed with the leg stiff, in either the outward or the inward form(Fig. 191). Assume that the dancer stands on the right foot in Principle IIand is about to execute the GrandCircle of the leg outward. Fromthe Principle II he passes to Prin-ciple IV at the rear (Fig. 62) by ahorizontal movement: from thePrinciple IV, to the Principle IVadvanced (Fig. 61 and 229) and, bya half-circle of the plane deter-mined: finish Principle IV forwardto Principle II by a horizontalmovement. {Geometrically, the toe describes two half-circles, one horizontal,between the two IVs, and passing to II, the other inclines at an angleof 44°, to a horizontal plane, between the two IVs, passing by Posi-tion A.) 195. The form and extent of the movements of the different Circlesof the Leg cannot be represe
