I think you need to distinguish between a touch which is part of the 
dance and one which isn't.  If we're doing a circle left or lines 
forward and back and I can sense that my neighbour has forgotten to do 
the ladies' chain I will urge her forward.  That's very different from 
grabbing someone on the other side of the set and pulling them to 
where they should be.
