Decor - first position


17.3. - Decor 

An odalisque shall be trained to stand to the position called "Decor" or "First Position" or sometimes just "First". This is the basic standing position. 

An odalisque shall stand upright and shall not slouch. The slave should stand in a relaxed way, the heel of one foot nestling into or near the arch of the other, as is comfortable. The feet are not in a level military position. 

The slave may move her weight to either foot. The arms should hang naturally, the hands folded right over left over the pubic region. 

Head and eyes should be slightly lowered. It is a demur, modest position. 

The command for this position is a single hand-clap.
