Close embrace

In partner dances, close embrace is a type of closed position where the leader and follower stand facing each other chest-to-chest in full or partial body contact.^[1] The dancers usually stand offset from one another, such that each has their right foot in between the feet of their partner.^[2] When in close embrace, the dance is led (and followed) with the whole body, rather than with the arms or with visual cues.^{[3][better source needed]} Various partner dances make use of this position, most notably Argentine Tango, but also Balboa, Collegiate Shag, Swing Walk, Blues, Salsa Dance, and others.^{[citation needed]}
