俄罗斯学派中 sur le cou-de-pied devant（前脚踝位）有两种形态：包卷式或称基本位置，与点地式或称有条件位置。sur le cou-de-pied derrière（后脚踝位）只有一种基本位置。在所有位置中，脚均须完全绷直。1. sur le cou-de-pied devant 的包卷式或称基本位置：一只脚置于支撑腿脚踝与小腿肌下缘基底之间。脚底——脚背绷起、脚尖绷直——包住脚踝，使绷直的脚尖位于支撑脚脚跟之后。此位置用于 petits battements sur le cou-de-pied 与 battements frappés。2. sur le cou-de-pied devant 的点地式或称有条件位置：绷直的脚放置成小趾一侧触于支撑腿踝关节上方的位置。此位置用于 battements fondus、battements soutenus、sissonne simple、développés 等。此外还有高位有条件位置，绷直的脚尖置于胫骨半高处（用于 pirouette）；以及低位有条件位置，动力脚的小趾触及支撑脚舞鞋的边缘。低位有条件位置始终在 pointe 或 demi-pointe 上完成，用于 battements battus。3. sur le cou-de-pied derrière 的基本位置：脚跟内侧面抵住支撑腿小腿肌基底部下方，脚完全绷直，脚尖向下。
In the Russian School there are two positions sur le cou-de-pied devant: the wrapped or basic position and the pointed or conditional position. There is one basic position sur le cou-de-pied derrière. The foot is completely stretched in all positions. 1. Sur le cou-de-pied devant in the wrapped or basic position is the position of one foot placed between the ankle and base of the supporting leg just under the calf muscle. The sole, with instep stretched and toes pointed, encircles the ankle so that the pointed toes are behind the heel of the supporting foot. This position is used for petits battements sur le cou-de-pied and battements frappés. 2. In sur le cou-de-pied devant in the pointed or conditional position, the pointed foot is placed so that the side of the small toe touches the supporting leg above the ankle joint. This position is used for battements fondus, battements soutenus, sissonne simple, développés, etc. There is also a high conditional position in which the pointed toe is placed halfway up the shin bone (this is used for pirouettes) and a low conditional position with the small toe of the working foot touching the edge of the slipper of the supporting foot. The low conditional position is always done on point or demi-pointe and is used for battements battus. 3. In the basic position sur le cou-de-pied derrière, the inside face of the heel is pressed against the supporting leg just below the base of the calf muscle with the foot completely stretched and the toes pointing downward.
