Perhaps my question is best asked here (and maybe not). I have tried to read through this article as well as the ones on Connection (dance) and closed position. What is the consensus about dancing in promenade position (side-by-side)? Is this open or is this closed? I do not see that this is addressed on either of these two pages. I would like some direction here as I am trying to improve the article about Promenade (dance move) and I cannot avoid making some general comments about the promenade position.

[edit] What's the difference?

I'm wondering pretty much the same thing as the guy above. But my question is, what defines open vs. closed? If I had to guess, based on what I've read, I'd say that open is a position that's joined at one side, whereas closed is joined at both sides. But I have no idea; could someone chip in?
