"Syntegrity is a formal model presented by Anthony Stafford Beer, a British theorist, in his work on management cybernetics, the science of large, complex, probabilistic systems.[1] The word Syntegrity is derived from the words synergistic and tensegrity. Its etymology signifies the ideal balance of tension and compression that makes structures stronger and more stable as they grow."
Then see the discussion of compression and leverage in this previous post related to tai chi and dance. Then see this wiki entry on dance connection. E.g.:
"When creating frame, tension is the primary means of establishing communication. Changes in tension are made to create rhythmic variations in moves and movements, and are communicated through points of contact.[1] In an open position or a closed position without body contact, the hands and arms alone provide the connection, which may be one of three forms: tension, compression or neutral.

- During tension or leverage connection, the dancers are pulling away from each other with an equal and opposite force. The arms do not originate this force alone: they are often assisted by tension in trunk musculature, through body weight or by momentum.
- During compression connection, the dancers are pushing towards each other.
- In a neutral position, the hands do not impart any force other than the touch of the follower's hands in the leader's."
