Combinations. —Figures 6, 7 and SPALDINGS ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 21 Figure 9. Circles. Back Rest; R. Right—A R. right from back restis a full circle to the right with the right leg. From a back rest (Position 3), abduct right thighas in Position 1; release grasp of right hand, circleleg under left hand, and finish as in Position 3. The circles described under Figures 6, 7 and 8 canbe performed in the back rest position. R. left—A full circle to the left with right leg. L. right—A full circle to the right with left leg. L. left—A full circle to the left with left leg (op-posite of Figure 9). R. right—A full circle to the right with right leg. Double R.—A full circle to the right with bothlegs. Double L.—A full circle to the left with both legs. In performing a R. left or a L. right, swing bothlegs to right or left till they meet and begin the cir-cle (on the L. right bring both legs as in Position 1);in fact, this shifting of weight is necessary forsmooth, rhythmic work.
