Dance Figures

Above, Fred is dancing with Cyd Charisse. Notice their angled bodies and parallel shoulders. They are aware of each other, matching each other's line—they are dancing with each other.

The dances include Dancing in the Dark and Girl Hunt. At right, they are in Left Shadow.

This is a Cuddle position, woman points.

If they were dancing Paso Doble, I would suggest that she is not playing the part of the cape but of the bull.
