    Please specify your question asked so people can provide a clearer answer. If i’d have to take a guess then you are probably talking about structural proportions?  When working on gesture and rythm the emphasis is really not on proportions of the figure (such as size, distance, and comparative measurement)  but what is paramount is to deal with dynamic expression, and the fluidity of curves such as the S-CURVE for the mass of the torso, pelvis and spine. in relation to the curves of the limbs that cause an interplay and harmony as well as fluidity and liveliness . If you are stuck somehow and would like to learn more about proportions then you could look up any video explaining the proportions of the human body.  Keep in mind that proportions and distances alter because of certain poses were foreshortening is concerned.
