Closed dance position. Partners face each other, with shoulders parallel. Each person shifts slightly to his or her left so he or she can look over his or her partner’s right shoulder. They are somewhat further apart than in the customary ballroom dance position; arms are higher and extended. 2. Semi-closed position. Partners keep the same hand position but turn to face forward, to the boys’ left and the girls’ right. His right hand and her left side are adjacent to each other. 3. Open position. Partners stand side by side, with inside hands joined and free hands positioned on waist. In most of our folk dances, the girl holds her skirt with her free hand, and the boy places his free hand behind his back above the hip pocket. Several terms used in describing dance position should be understood. These are: 1. Inside hand or foot. This refers to the hand or foot that is near the partner, when couples are side by side. 2. Outside hand or foot. This means the hand or foot is far from the partner, when couples are side by side. 3. Starting position. When ready to begin a dance, each person usually has one foot free and slightly lifted, ready to move at the proper moment. This is known as the free foot. The foot bearing the body’s weight is the supporting foot. The free hand is the one not in contact with one’s partner at any moment. MODULE 5: BASIC DANCE STEPS
