Bodies
Magnifico - leads with head
straight back
Pantalone - chins out and knees out
The doctor - leads with the belly
The Witch - low and moves in
figures of 8
Brighella - closed hips tight.
Halequino - loose hips a quick
step
The Captain – leads with the
knees
Zanni – bend forward hands out
to the side and the nose and feet lead.
These are basic shapes that you
can layer on, but keep the lead body parting.
