Sometimes the other person will get it if you place a single finger
(from your other hand) on the back of their (bent) wrist.

Speaking of allemandes - is there ANY way to teach experienced
dancers to not bend their wrists when they allemande? The wrist is
supposed to be straight, not bent, as bending can cause pain to the
other person's wrist (generally mine). Nowadays when I find a
person allemande with a bent wrist I go ahead and keep mine
straight and sacrifice a good allemande with weight for protecting
my arm and wrist.
