I tell them to imagine a pole where their joined hands are; one person
is moving forwards around the pole, the other is moving backwards. Then
I tell them they are now pole-dancing :-)
It is important to keep the joined arms in a strong "W" to get a good
sharing of energy.
It is also known as a Hand Cast and a Wheel Around in various dance
forms.
Happy dancing,
John
