Each tip has two parts, with different music, but without re-forming new squares between the parts, just as at a traditional dance. In the hoedown, everyone promenades home with their own partner after each sequence. This pairing of a dance that progresses through partners with one in which everyone keeps their own partner should be very familiar to traditional dancers. Styling The most obvious difference that people typically observe is the difference in hand position. But before discussing that, there is a more fundamental difference.
Dancers frequently exert pushing and pulling pressure on each other.
You should maintain your center of gravity over your own two feet. While doing left and right allemandes, you exert only a very slight pressure on the other dancers, so they know they are working with you, but you don't go into orbit. Other arm turns, like left allemande, are done the same way. Needless to say, if dancers were to lean back and give weight while doing a left allemande with a forearm grip, they would fall over. Whenever you are in a formation next to someone, you should take some kind of grip with them.
