for smoothnessĀ ! We (esp. the follow) move according to the applied forces. That's a consequence of power-lead-and-follow connection, as opposed to signal-and-response connection (Ooh - that's another distinction worth making on the page ...). I also generalised an existing assumption that

In closed position with body contact, connection is achieved by maintaining a frame, a stable structural combination of both bodies maintained through the dancers' arms and/or legs. The follow moves to match the lead, maintaining the pressure between the two bodies as well as the

408:. But both were misleading: the described positions were specific to certain styles of swing dance. As described, the open position discussion only applies if the partners have a similar height.

In an open position or a closed position without body contact, the hands and arms alone provide the connection, which may be one of three forms: tension, compression or neutral.

Is the anonymous statement above still trueĀ ? The syntax looks good to me, and I'm quite fussy. Just fix syntax/grammar/unambiguous-spelling errors - no need to discussĀ ? --

tension=rigidity. A frame can have tension and still be elastic. Tension is not the same as being tenseĀ ! (Google "define:tension" gives 'latent hostility' firstĀ ! )
