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.

But not truly strangers, but regulars at your dance scene that you don't know well

Genuine strangers have no idea how you dance

I am pretty sure many experienced dancers regularly scan the floor to see if there are good dancers they don't recognize.

It's true, I do this.
