	Modern Jive :: Chapter :: Dance Frame
		The lead in dance hold is by the leader shifting the dance frame by rotating their torso and pulling or pushing slightly with their right hand on the follower's back — the leader shouldn't try to drive the motion by pushing, or pulling, with their left hand.
		One unusual dance position is for the leader and follower to be offset by half a body width, this allows the leader and follower to step forwards or backwards on the same legs — the effect is similar to a three-legged race where partners face each other.
		The rigidity, or tension in the dance frame is now replaced by compression and tension in the handholds — sometimes called “tone”.

	Lead and follow (dance) -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article
		Collision avoidance is one of the cases when the follower is actually required to "backlead" or at least to communicate about the danger to the leader, and the leaders have to expect this.
		In travelling dances, such as Waltz, common follower's signals of danger are an unusual resistance to the lead, or a slight tap by the shoulder.
		Many dances have simple moves dedicated to changing the direction of travel, to be used, e.g., at the corners of the floor, or to avoid an obstacle.

	Argentine Tango Dance Etiquette
		For the followers, as a dance pattern unfolds, be alert to dancers potentially in the way and let the leader know of a possible collision verbally, pressing your left hand to the leader's back, by a hand squeeze, or by pulling your partner closer, or all of these, especially on a crowded dance floor.
		On a crowded dance floor, stopping in the outer lane to do a dance pattern is frowned on since it usually stops the forward progress of the dancers coming from behind and many times it usually involves steps that are not safe to the surrounding dancers.
		It's not fun on a crowded dance floor having to duck when another dancer swings around with their partner and the leads left hand is three feet in the air and three inches from your nose.

	Personal opinions about NYC Argentine tango dancers in NYC by Stephen T. Chin-Bow © 1997 - 2003 All Rights Reserved PETPEEVE
		I thought I was safe since the only way a dancer would collide with me is if s/he walked straight outward from the floor towards me. Somehow a leader from NYC managed to step on my foot.
		I do not have anything against two back steps, but the leader should be sure he can do them without requiring that other couples change their steps to avoid collisions.
		It is best to choose a spot to start a dance (see above) where the couple, behind them on the line of dance, can see them (and therefore is aware of them).

	Connection (dance) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Following and leading is accomplished by maintaining a physical connection called the frame that allows the lead to transmit body movement to the follow, and for the follow to suggest ideas to the lead.
		The general rule for open connections is that moves of the leader's hands back, forth, left or right are originated through moves of the entire body.
		In an open position or a closed position without body contact, the hands and arms provide the connection, which may be one of three forms: tension, compression or neutral.
