ABSTRACT
Direction (spatial aspect) is the largest category of movement exploration because there are so many ways in which people can relate to directions around them. In life, a baby becomes aware first of its own personal space, directions based on its own body—the fact that it has a front, a back, right and left sides, head and feet, even though it cannot identify them at that stage. Much later it begins to relate to the room around it. East, west, north, and south are familiar relative directions. But note that a location that is north to some people is south to others. By combining two of the dimensional axes, four directional points will produce circular planes that dissect the body. The three planes, derived from the dimensional directions, can be the focus of movement. The directions forward, backward, right side, and left side have been introduced, but not yet the four diagonal directions lying between them.
