Correlations were calculated using spearman’s rho. The structured leading and following segments, and the less structured and interactive segments, were combined to increase the n for each correlation. Flow of the interaction was not scored in the following and leading video segments. For the 12 videos with two participants paired with each other, one video of each type was randomly assigned to each of the two participants to avoid using the scores from the same video twice.

aVideo clips selected for the most interactive behaviors in the 30-s segment of the leading, following, or open-ended dance based on a predefined list of interactive behaviors.
