The balance gets you stomping your feet a little and you whole body moving back
and forth to create a momentum for what ever comes next. It is a time when all
of the dancers can be considered to have a 'lead' role by using the arm
connections ('weight') to lead the others in the direction of the next figure.
In Du Quoin Races - 3 of the balances are in wavy lines where you feel a
connection with several other dancers (the other is a circle balance).
Other than that - I just watch the dancers during these balances and you can
see they are feeling something special

Subject: Re: [Callers] High-energy dances
What I'm missing is why balances make a dance high-energy. Could
anyone help explain?
If I had to guess randomly, I'd guess the energy level was caused by
the music, and by the overall activity level....
