Gibson wrote about what a good dancer can do:

"Can you dance Tango to Pink Floyd?  Can you dance on a rough concrete floor
or gravel?  Can you dance with someone who has no timing?  Can you dance in
sandals or with someone who is?"

A good tango ( Tango! ) dancer-man is able to dance without any music at
all.
That is why he can dance to Pink Floyd. But I am sure he does not want to.
30 years ago I liked Pink Floyd too...

Dancing with someone who has no timing? This is not dancing. Timing, rhythm
is a must for a dance.
No sense of rhythm? No dancing yet. Its only an exercise, sorry.

Well, that is about it. Sense of rhythm, ability to express it, ability to
make a dance ( in accordance with music, of course - here I am with you )
and.. you are a good dancer ! Very simple :)
