  Frame (dance) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frame is the body position maintained by dancers during partner dancing.
Specifically, frame refers to the position of the upper body of the dancers relative to the rest of the dancer's body and the body of the dancer's partner.
The required frame varies according to the dance—in street latin style dances such as salsa, arms are held more loosely, while in swing dances, outward directed pressure is used to maintain the position.

 Partner dance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Partner dances are the dances whose basic choreography involves coordinated dancing of two partners, as opposed to individuals dancing alone or individually in a non-coordinated manner, and as opposed to groups of people dancing simultaneously in a coordinated manner.
