ShadowPosition

Showmanship and Promotion - Love often urges us to put the spotlight on our partner; a common goal may require us to promote our partner’s skills. Togetherness takes a different shape when we must lead from behind, or face the public on behalf of our partner in the wings. The “Shadow Position” seen in many ballroom dances and in couples figure skating, represents this kind of relationship. The man dances behind the woman for several measures of music. The couple holds hands as a way of keeping balance and communicating. Senior Instructors David and Lea Twigg demonstrate the “Shadow Position” as David shows off Lea and they both express a deep enjoyment of the dance and each other.
