Cuddle
Position is a close embrace in which each partner's arms are around the
other. It is a picture figure, but it an informal pose, perhaps a
non-standard position. Certainly, when you think of other picture
figures, like the Promenade Sway, Oversway, or Hinge, you get a feeling
of more formality. You are making the line, posing the picture, in
semi-closed position or in closed position. In a Cuddle, you abandon
most of the formal, stylistic conventions.
You stand directly in front of your partner. Your frame is mostly relaxed. You may be gazing deeply into her eyes.

It is an opportunity to play a little.
Given enough time, at the end of a dance, for instance, she might even lay her head on your shoulder.
