37*Note: All 3-D Symbols (Position Symbols) are simply a line and a circle in DANCE WRITING ®Shorthand, and they only show direction of facing. They are never darkened-in and they do not showdegrees of depth as they do in the detailed DANCE WRITING ® .The 3-D Symbols (Position Symbols) are rarely written in DANCE WRITING ® Shorthand while theactual notating is happening, since the dance is written so fast there is seldom time to place them belowthe figure. The 3-D Symbols (Position Symbols) are usually written-in when the notating is completed.The stenographer writes the movements in Shorthand, and then immediately goes back and writes the3-D Symbols under the figures while the memory is fresh. The 3-D Symbols can help clarify figuresduring transcription.Always write the line of the 3-D Symbol (Position Symbol) first and the circle second. Place your pencilin the direction on the paper you want the figure to face, and then draw the line away from the point youbegan and then draw the circle:
38Rule 10: When more than one figure faces the back wall and back corners, only put parenthesesaround the first and last figures.Rule 11: Fifth position facing the back corner or back wall places the dot on the side of the leg inthe back of the other leg. This rule coordinates with the rule for darkening-in the back legwhen the figure faces the back corner and back all in the detailed DANCE WRITING ® .The basic symbols for positions of the body are listed on the following pages turning in all possibledirections. This listing may be of use as ;I reference when practicing DANCE WRITING ® Shorthand.
