This is what I called technique in Nightclub Dancing (part 2)- Intimate Touching

internet source: nightclub dancing

You are not reading it wrong, one of the technique for Nightclub dancing is to touch your partner! However, this touching is a decent touch, but not an affectionate caress, this decent touch is a hold that defines how he leads and how she follows.

Unlike the trained ballroom dancers, nightclub dancers do not usually learn how to lead and follow properly during particular actions or turns according to an international standard, they usually learn a quick class and then apply whatever they know, as a consequence, they may develop their own individual 'signal' to lead. This is understandable, but unfortunately, not quite useful when you partner up with dancers worldwide. Since everyone has different way of leading, ladies always get confused and need time to get used to each random partner.

I don't demand nightclub dancers, or causal dancers to learn leading specifically, but I do recommend a general but quick tip about leading and following-- attach to your partner.

He should hold her much closer than in ballroom dancing. She shold attach herself, but not hang on, to him. He leads by his body and frame (centre weight properly placed) rather than the hands, wrists, or arms. One way to lead efficiently in nightclub dancing is to lead by his own body actions. In case you don't know how to manage the move, you can't probably lead it. But if you know it, do it. Do it correctly, then she will follow it.
