BASIC PARTNER POSITIONS

Six basic partner positions are used in
social dances. These basic dance
positions determine how you relate to
your partner during the dance. The man
stands on the left side, and the woman
is always on the right side in all these

positions.

• Shine position - In this position, the

partners face each other without
touching.
• Two-hands joined position - Partners
stand facing each other. Both the man
and the woman hold their elbows by
their sides with their forearms
extended. They can both have their
palms facing down, and the man can
place his thumb in the woman's palm
and wrap his fingers around the top of
her hands, or the man can have his
palms facing up and place his thumb on
top of the woman's fingers and his
fingers in her palm.

One-hand joined position - This position

is the same as the two-hands joined
position except that each partner uses
only one hand•
•Closed position - The partners face
each other in this position. The man's
left hand holds the woman's right hand.
Palms are touching, and fingers and
thumbs are loosely clasped around each
other's hands. The man's right-hand
rests on the woman's back, cradling her
left shoulder blade. The woman's left
arm rests on top of the man's right arm,
and her left-hand rests gently on his
right shoulder.

Semi open position - In this position,

the partners stand beside each other
with their bodies turned at a 45-degree
angle to each other. The man places his
right hand below the woman's left
shoulder blade with his elbow slightly
bent. The woman's left arm rests gently
on the man's right arm, and her left
hand is in front of his right shoulder.
Both partners extend their outside arms
and hold hands.

• Inside-hands joined position - The

partners stand side by side. The man
extends his right arm and offers his
right hand to his partner, and the
woman places her left palm in the
man's right hand. Both place their
outside hands on their hips.
