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 it’s more of a popularity thing over skill thing

Then the follow up question would be: What makes a person "popular"?

There is a guy in my scene that on top of being a good dancer, has a great attitude and is always smiling and laughing, doesn’t have enemies in any of the schools and everybody likes him. He may not be the best dancer
