10 Basic Ballroom Dance Positions
1. One-Hand Hold Position
 In the one-hand hold, only one hand is
held, hence the name.
 Begin in the open facing position (facing
your partner within arm’s reach). To enter
the one-hand hold position, grasp your
partner’s hand and leave the other hand
relaxed at your side.
2. Two-Hand Hold
 In the two-hand hold position, both hands
are held. Partners should stand apart,
facing one another. The male partner holds
the female partner's hands, while the
female partner places her hands in the
male partner's grasp.
3. Closed Position
 In the closed position, the male partner
rests his right hand on the female partner's
back while holding her right hand with his
left hand. The female partner places her
left hand on the male partner's upper arm.
4. Outside Right Position
 The outside right position (or right
parallel) is similar to the basic closed
position, with the exception of the
placement of the feet.
 In the outside right position, the female
partner's feet should be to the right of the
male partner's.
5. Outside Left Position
 The outside left (or left parallel) position is
also similar to the basic closed position.
Again, the only difference is the placement
of the feet.
 In outside left position, the female partner
places her feet to the left of the male
partner's feet.
6. Fallaway Position
 The fallaway position is similar to
the promenade position, except the
dancers move backward instead of
forward. In the fallaway position, both
partners take small steps backward at the
same time.
7. Shadow Position
 Partners should step with the same foot in
the same direction. Their movements
should act as a shadow to each other, as
the name of the position suggests.
8. Skater's Position
 In the skater's position, partners join hands
in front of their bodies. The right hands are
 joined below and left hands are joined
above.
9. Challenge Position
 In the challenge position, the male and
female partners face one another but stand
apart and without making contact.
