Couple dance position is a position a couple assumes during a dance.
Mastering proper dance positions is an important part of dance technique.
Couple dance positions of a single dancer may be further detailed into body, head, arm, hand, leg, and foot positions.
Couple dances are dances whose basic choreography involves coordinated dancing of two partners, as opposed to individuals dancing alone or individually in a non-coordinated manner, and as opposed to groups of people dancing simultaneously in a coordinated manner.
The following are but a sample of the couple dance positions used in folk dancing.
