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.

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?
