When I think of dance positions, I can only think of two basic positions:
close and open.
Yet someone recently talked about 3 dance positions. Anyone have a thoughts
about this?

I've seen and I sometimes also to do a "shadow" position, but that's rather
rare, I think.
In shadow position the leader dances behind the follower.

All I can think of is the 2 types of 'close embrace'. Salon style with a V shape
and Milonguero [Apilado]?Style with full chest- to-chest contact.
