Open (disambiguation).
This vague word is used in several ways:
Open embrace = Along the continuum of possibilities of the embrace, open embrace might be understood as no contact between the partners’ chests. (The other end of the continuum is “close embrace”.)
Open side of the embrace = the side of the embrace where we are holding hands (mark’s left and revel’s right), and thereby have more space to maneuver. (The other side is the “closed side”.)
Open step =(In Castellano, ‘apertura’.) We use ‘side step’, the step in which the line of the step is lateral to the torso and hips of the dancer.
