At the barre, you learn the basics of ballet that will be important as you progress. If you're just getting started, an entire dance practice should involve barre work. This is vital for building your strength, agility and flexibility, so do not see it as wasted time. If you skipped this, you wouldn't be able to dance. Even professional dancers begin each class at the barre. The fundamental cornerstone of ballet, and the basis from which all your more complicated moves will be developed are the five starting positions (and the "parallel position" which some consider the sixth position). You won't be able to learn to do anything else until you practice, perfect, and make automatic the six beginning positions. These should be so ingrained in your muscle memory that they're part of your DNA. All positions should be practiced either facing the barre or with your left hand on the barre. Beginner dancers usually start facing the barre, and intermediate or advanced dancers usually start with the left hand on the barre while practicing positions. In the first position, your feet should be turned out from your body, and held together at the heels. Your legs should be straight and kept together, your back should be straight and your head held high. Maintain excellent posture and balance. In second position, your feet will have the same angle as in first, except that your feet should move so they are about shoulder width apart. Widen your base of support, but maintain the same posture and poise when in second as when you're in first. Practice transitioning from first to second position without changing the angle of your ankles. To move into third position, bring your lead foot (usually your dominant foot, or the foot you use to kick with) behind your other foot. The heel of your lead foot should be even with the ankle strap on your other ballet slipper. Move your hips forward and maintain your balance. Your legs should be straight and your shoulders should be back. To transition into fourth position from third, move your lead foot back, spreading your weight in a backward direction, much as you did between first and second position. Here, the positions start to get slightly more complicated. To transition into fifth position, bring your other foot back toward your lead foot, bending your ankle so your heel is on top of your lead toe. Your knee should be flexed slightly, but your back and shoulders should remain very straight and balanced. Practice this transition frequently. Both of your feet are together, side by side, like parallel lines.

summary: Start every dancing practice at the ballet barre. Learn the fundamental positions. Practice first position. Practice second position. Practice third position. Practice fourth position. Practice fifth position. Finish in parallel position.

To see better, the map has been filled with green. In practice it's better not to fill it, so you can see clearly what you're tracing.]] Draw with the Bézier pen tool (shift+F6). It's more useful than the pencil tool. This tool has two modes – you can go along clicking to make a polygonal line with nodes at the vertices, or you can click and drag to make Bézier curves. If you drag, you will see that a line appears at each node that drives the shape of the curve. It doesn't matter if you don't do it perfectly at first. You can retouch it later. In any case, if you don't like where you put a node, you can eliminate the last node you drew by pressing the delete key.  For making maps, it is often sufficient to make polygonal lines. It's usually a good idea to zoom in on the area where you're working (magnifying tool). In the example, polygonal lines have been used to trace the outline of the island of Ireland.

Ice is only really effective for the first 48 hours. After icing the hickey for 48 hours, you'll want to switch to a warm compress for the remainder of your treatment regimen.  Ice heals the broken blood vessels, but heat will help increase blood flow to the area. This will facilitate healing and the reabsorption of blood.  Use a hot water bottle or a microwavable heating pad.  Do not apply heat therapy for longer than 20 minutes at a time. Don't use heat therapy if you have diabetes or poor circulation. In addition to applying a warm compress, massaging a bruise like a hickey can help facilitate blood flow to the site of the injury. Common methods of massaging a hickey include rubbing it with your hands or applying pressure using:  a toothbrush with stiff bristles  a pen cap  the cap from a tube of chapstick Icing, heating, and massaging the skin will all help the bruise heal, but you may want to treat the skin in order to make the physical mark disappear more quickly. No skin treatment will provide instant results, but will help speed up the healing process. Common skin treatments include:  aloe vera  Arnica salve  Preparation H  taking vitamins C, E, and K supplements  taking bilberry extract  taking bromelain
summary: Switch to a warm compress. Massage the bruise. Treat the skin.
