In which arm position are the fingers grouped, except for the first position?

The grouping of fingers is an important aspect of arm positions in Scottish Highland Dance. In all arm positions, except for the first, dancers typically group their fingers together. This grouping is essential for achieving the proper aesthetic and technical form, contributing to the overall appearance and elegance of the dance. In the first position, the fingers are not grouped; they are typically held separately to enhance the specific lines and presentation of that position. Thus, for the second, third, and any subsequent positions, it is standard practice for the fingers to be grouped, creating a more cohesive and visually appealing look. This understanding of finger placement helps dancers maintain the integrity of each position and the overall fluidity in their performance.
