    One-Hand Hold Position

     One hand hold. Tracy Wicklund


    Jumpstart your ballroom dance lessons by learning these nine basic partner positions. Cab Calloway
    First, try the one-hand hold. 
    In the one-hand hold, only one hand is held. Hence the name.
    Try it with the partners facing each other. The other hand is relaxed at their sides. When partners
    face each other within arms reach, it is called the open facing position.

    Two-Hand Hold

     Two hand hold. Tracy Wicklund


    In the two-hand hold position, both hands are held. Both partners should stand apart, facing each
    other. The man ( or the person holding the traditionally male role) should hold both of the
    woman's hands.

    Outside Right Position


     Outside right position. Tracy Wicklund
    The closed position is another common position in ballroom dancing. In the closed position, the
    partners stand close enough to each other that their bodies touch, but slightly off to each dancer's
    left. Each dancer's right foot should be able to step in between the other person's feet. 
    In the closed position, the man's right hand rests on the woman's back and he holds her right hand
    with his left. The woman places her left hand on his upper arm. 
    The outside right position (or right parallel) is similar to the basic closed position.
    With the outside right position, the feet are different. The woman's feet stand to the right on the
    man's.

    Outside Left Position

     Left outside. Tracy Wicklund


    The outside left (or left parallel) position is similar to the basic closed position. Again, the foot
    positioning is what's different. In this position, the woman places her feet to the left of the man's.

    Promenade Position

     Promenade position. Tracy Wicklund


    In the promenade position, both partners face the same direction instead of facing each other. The
    bodies make a sort of V shape. 
    Because the dancers are facing the same direction, they also move forward together.

    Fallaway Position

     Fallaway position. Tracy Wicklund


    The fallaway position is similar to the promenade position, except it moves backward instead of
    forward. Both partners take small steps backward.

    Shadow Position

     Shadow position. Tracy Wicklund


    In the shadow position, partners "shadow" each other's moves.
     Both partners should face the same direction, with one partner either in front of the other or slightly to the left
    or right.
     Partners should step with the same foot in the same direction. Their movements should act as a shadow to
    each other, per the name of the position. 
     Partners can be closed (touching), semi-closed (slightly apart) or totally apart.

    Skater's Position

     Skater's position. Tracy Wicklund


    In the skater's position, partners join hands in front of their bodies. The right hands should be
    joined below and left hands joined above.

    Challenge Position

    In the challenge position, the man and woman face each other but are apart and without contact.
