Performing dance is an intrinsically social art form where at least one person moves while another person watches.

The GP consultation is a fluid, complex interaction that is difficult to define, but points can be identified where the consultation can run smoothly, or rapidly derail and become dysfunctional.

This paper uses the concept of the Two Houses model for the consultation to explore three such pinch points: Keeping the consultation dance going; how 'need' is a power word and should be used with caution; and the value of considering whether the patient is looking for a better understanding of their problem, or a solution, or both.

Here, we invoke an individual differences approach to test whether some individuals may be more dependent on certain types of information compared to others.
