The woman's left hand rests on the man's upper arm and the man's right hand is on the side of the woman's waist. This position is normally only used in the Tango, although there are occasional moves in other dances that use it. The man holds his hands palm up and the woman rests her hands in his. Notice that the man's thumbs are towards the inside, which distinguishes this from the standard Jitterbug position. Similar to Butterfly position, but the hands are normally always held fairly close in, between the partners.
Partners stand at arm's length holding both hands.
The man starts with his thumbs pointing up, palms facing him. The woman hooks her hands over the man's, and he folds his thumbs over her fingers. This results in the man's thumbs being on the outside of the woman's hands, which is different than the Butterfly position. The woman's left arm is wrapped in front of her waist to hold the man's right hand, which he wraps behind her. The free outside hands are joined in front at chest height.
