		Body contact is a style of closed position in partner dancing ("closed position with body contact"); it is also a type of physical connection.
		A position in which partners hold each other involving body support (i.e., not only using handhold) or body contact while facing each other.
		Open position is any dance position in couple dances, in which the partners stand apart facing each other without body support of the closed position, possibly holding each other's hand(s).

		The promenade position is defined as a "V"-shaped dance position whereby the man and lady travel in the same direction, toward the open end of the "V".
		The most notable aspect of Promenade is the fact that the direction of travel, the alignment of the body, and the alignment of the feet are all different.
		It should be noted that in order to maintain her position relative to the man, it will be necessary for the lady to take a very small step on the second quick count -- if possible to close her feet.

	Promenade
		The reason I show them is, because it is often called as "promenade the wrong way", and I want to avoid the confusion about "what side does he want me on?" I want the boy on the proper side, so when they get home and face in, they are normal.
		Now I ask them to get into the promenade position again, and move around till the guys have their left shoulder pointing toward the center of the square.

		Although it is common in a dance like Foxtrot to turn to promenade position as the first step is being taken, most figures in Tango usually require that the dancers take promenade position one step prior to moving into the promenade figure.
		It is therefore assumed that all promenade figures in Tango, unless otherwise specified, begin in a "preparatory" promenade position (pictured at right).
		The Tango Close to Promenade Position is an example of such a preparation.

		Throughout the book starting with the "Techniques," page 59, 62, 63, 64, 79, 81, 83, and on from there the Dance Positions are show with the man's right hand too low in the small of the lady's back against soft tissue.
		The 1st problem is too much hand pressure would have to be exerted to lead any rotation particularly in the rhythm or Latin dances because of the weak slouched position of the man's right upper arm which leaves that arm limp with lack of proper relationship to his own body's rotation.
		The 2nd problem is actually dangerous to the lady's health because that is the area of her kidney and the likelihood extending too much pressure over the period of several dances can have the same impact as a strong kidney punch in boxing.

		I need to be stepping forward to help lead her, Turn into promenade position, and use my right hip to lead her to turn into promenade as well.
		Legs should be in scissors position for rock, that is, my legs are only separated front to back, not side to side.
