Yes, because although we're in the middle of a public place and i'm not wearing dance wear or appropriate shoes; Yes, I am going to dance at your command. Come to my studio, i'm there everyday anyhow.

3. "Can you teach me how to dance?"

Yeah, give me a couple of years and a ridiculous amount of dedication.

4. "I've never seen you dance before..."
