Sometimes there is the lightest of pressures between palms.
Sometimes the grip is firm and strong.
Some women squeeze their partner's hand when something goes wrong, or maybe when it goes especially right.
Sometimes the hand is flat and horizontal, sometimes it's cupped and vertical.
Occasionally it's painful. More often than not it's another expression of personality. Another level of communication. Another way of being close.
The hand may move or flex or tighten or relax during the dance, or it may be constant and unchanging -- a rock to hold on to.
And as the last note of the music fades away, and we wake from our trance, we often don't release hands for just a few seconds longer. We try to hold on to it.
The human hand has five digits.
