Something needs to be holding the two of you together. The gent has his right hand on the ladies' back. If the gent is strong and the lady light, that is sufficient. If the lady additionally has their left hand on the back of the the gent's right shoulder, then the lady is doing more of the holding together and the gent can do less. I'm not sure whether the lady helping hold the couple together is something most experienced ladies actually do, or just something barb and I wish they did. Trying some with my wife, she does not do it. Jeff
