A figurehead is any of a number of "up" positions, with high and forward poise, usually assumed by the woman and more or less resembling the wooden female figureheads of ships of old. | ![]() |
Here, we have a stork line, which is a figurehead in which one leg is raised to the supporting knee, toes pointing down. I suppose it is a styalized representation of a resting stork. | ![]() |
An Oblique Line has a Stork Line–quality in its raised foot, but the Oblique Line stretches the oblique abdominal muscles and so produces a graceful curve to the whole body. Here, the cue might have been "woman Oblique Line, man Split." | ![]() |
In the figurehead, the woman's feet may be together, or she may lunge or extend one leg, yielding a variety of styles. | ![]() ![]() |
