Up close

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To have close contact with a person or to be in close contact with them means to be so close to them that the clothes - the cloth  - touch each other over a large area that you can easily feel their body. For example, most of the standard dances are danced in close contact with the partner, neither at a distance nor in close embrace. To get in close contact accordingly means to approach a person at a minimal distance.

The term is often used in a figurative sense. One can be in close contact with a danger, be in contact with it. In car races , two cars can be in close contact, right before they touch.
