As a dancer who often role switches, I have noted that

have some dramatic consequences for my right arm when I dance the gent's

"connection", and other concepts that might get to a better swing
experience. I would love to hear about other words that seem to work for
dancers/callers.

When I'm teaching a beginner lesson and we're doing our first circles, I
describe it as "springy arms, so we can all support each other as we
circle." That concept of mutual support seems to click for a lot of new
dancers.
