As someone who has been part of dancing communities I would say that obviously if you go social dancing the focus is the dance and even if a girl likes you, it would be super uncalibrated to go for a kiss then and there.Dance has a very strong frame of being innocent though. How do you manage the transition from the hard boundaries of the dance, to kissing? Especially in the dance community, I’m sure you know that everyone is concerned about the leader not being creepy. I know it’s something else when dancing alone, but still the girl might be surprised that you went for a kiss. It’s like you’re forcefully changing the vibe from social/romantic to sexual, is that a good thing?
It’s like going to a co-ed sport game and grabbing your teammate for a kiss while playing. It is weird and you will be rejected and most probably talked about for trying something like this.
If you are one on one with a girl though in a date, it should be again pretty obvious that there is a romantic/sexual element to dancing together. Especially if you do it somewhere in private or spontaneously.
KJ Francis mentioned some of the points that set this expectation here. As long as you keep it man to woman enough that the girl knows it is some form of date and not just two besties hanging out, it should be fine.
I’ve danced with multiple girls, either in public during the date or back in my place at the end of it and none of them found it forceful or unexpected when I went for a kiss eventually.
For a lot of them it was in fact the perfectly plausible deniability to come close and have a kiss.
That’s why I also don’t believe you need to be any great dancer to use it for seduction in this context. Just by knowing the basic waltz step, you can tell the girl how it makes you feel, why you love it, then propose to show her and simply do it to bring her close when you want to escalate.
Just don’t show her the correct head position if you pick Waltz because you’ll end up looking away from each other lol.
