Most of the time couples who don't know how to dance are subject to ridicule as they don't know how to share an unexpected magical moment that only partner dances can create. Worse, if one of the couple doesn't know how to dance, another tries to threaten their union by teasing the other partner who knows how to dance to dance with that person instead, or in other words, be with them and leave the previous partner who doesn't know how to dance.
