Common camera framing
Description: Both partners stand upright, chest to chest, moving from the hips with no support other than each other. It is the plainest standing position in the classical literature and the one most dependent on the two performers being close in height.
Variations: One partner rising onto the toes, one knee lifted to the hip, or a slight lean back with hands joined for counterweight.
On camera: A whole-body vertical that suits a wide frame, but the contact point is hidden between the two torsos, so it is usually an opening or closing beat rather than a working shot.
AI design considerations: Two upright figures in full frontal contact with pelvises aligned. The height relationship has to be plausible, since a large mismatch makes the contact point impossible.
