Given the many different ways of leading that was recently
discussed, another possibility is that perhaps she was not
invited in a way that she understood.  In which case, I
would not say that she doesn’t know how to dance, but
rather, that there was miscommunication.  Perhaps she
needed an eyebrow lead :)

That’s because we haven’t dance much since I learned how :)

Actually, if the woman is sensitive enough, she can change
the invitation without the man realizing it.  I am not
there, yet.  

Pleasant dreams,
Trini
