"Hey there! It's me, Aisha. Today I'm going to tell you all about the fourth and fifthposition!
Have you got the first, the second and the third down? No? Go and check them out if you haven't yet!

First position
Feet: Touch your heels together, point your toes outward and your feet should form a straight line.
Arms: Bring your hands in front of you about level with your navel, and create the shape of a circle with your arms.

Second position
Feet: Like the first position, but separate your heels. The gap should be about the length of your foot.
Arms: Stretch them outwards just below the shoulders and curve them a little forward.
 

Third position
Feet: Put one foot in front and one behind, point your toes outward and put one heel in front of the other.
Arms: Raise one arm and move it in front of your body slightly. Extend your other arm outward as in the second position.

 Fourth position

Feet: Put one in front of another, leaving a gap half the length of your foot.
Put the heel of your back foot behind and in line with the toes of your front foot.
Arms: One arm is curved upward, the other is curved forward like in the part one.

Fifth position

Feet : Like the fourth position, but your feet are now touching.
Arms: Hold them upward, curved and a little forward with respect to the line of the body.

Tip! To stay straight imagine having a wire pulled upward from the center of your head. The legs must be stretched, as well as the torso.
