Good answer.  By the way, anyone who has to work so hard that he sweats that much, might not be such a great dancer.

I would have made an excuse and left in the middle of a tanda if someone tried that with me and I wanted to dance with him another time.  Otherwise, I would have just thanked him and left him on the dance floor.  If, however, you asked him to dance and you knew that he preferred close-embrace, then that's a different story.

There's a lot of fish in the ocean.  Don't sweat the guys who don't have the decency to present themselves nicely to you.  Think the next guy asking you to dance will enjoy being soaked by you soaked by someone else?
