If I have been dancing with someone for a few songs and they have been in
any way friendly (smiling, or even looking at me) then I will try to get
them to stay for a slow dance too. I find you can talk just as well out
on the dance floor to a ballad as anywhere else. If the woman is aware
that you mostly just like to dance (and that you aren't going to jump her
on the dance floor :-)) then most will agree to dance.

Well, I'm Canadian but that isn't important right now :-). I've been taking
a swing class for several months and we have started going to a place
near by on other nights. The early disk jockey plays a wide variety of
music, including lots of old stuff (as opposed to the later dj's who like
to play top 10 stuff :-(). He has gotten to know us by now and plays stuff
just for us, since we are about the only ones dancing that early in the 
night. It is funny that once a woman has seen you out dancing a lot already
that night she is far more willing to dance. Maybe there is a lesson here?
