@kirovadance: In the closed position for Latin dance: ✔️ Positioning: Stand slightly apart from your partner. ✔️ Connecting Arms: Man’s left arm connects with the lady’s right, elbows slightly bent in front of the body. ✔️ Right Hand Placement: Man’s right hand cups the lady’s shoulder blade. ✔️ Lady’s Hand Placement: Lady’s left-hand rests on the man's shoulder, forearm sliding up to create gentle resistance. Note: Keep the frame relaxed, not overly tense, to allow smooth movement.
