Closed Dance Position is a Partnering Dance Technique. Dance couple dances with the Leader holding the Follower in a light embrace with his right hand on her left shoulder blade. With his left hand the Leader "carries", "presses against", "hooks with" , or "grabs" the right hand of the Follower. Sometimes the Leader and the Follower have his left and her right underarms also connected to each other (Bachata, Merengue & Son). The Follower rests her whole left arm on the right arm of the Leader.

Dancer Of The Week

Sanne Keijzer

Dance because you like it and show that. Own the dance. A good student can copy the teacher but a great dancer learns and then makes it her own. So, create your own style and do your thing. And very important: dare to dance!
