Skill level

I am convinced, and I will die on this hill, that the number, quality and frequency of strangers coming to ask you out for a dance is a strong solid indicator of how good you are at dancing.

I do not mean a random ask. I mean where strangers search for, will wait and beeline for you.

For example, the fact I rarely get asked by strangers (when they do it is a random ask) and I only dance with people I know, is a clear indication that my dance is lucking.

I think this is true, and I definitely feel like as a follow, when I’m dancing with someone else, and there are leads on the sidelines taking a break I know that how I’m dancing with my current lead is kind of like a résumé for leads on the sides. And if I’m dancing really well with my currently, typically another lead will beeline to ask me to dance.
