He moved surprisingly gracefully for someone who looked as lanky as he did, he wasn't tall but he was skinny, and wasn't obtrusive at all as he sort of nudged her toward following. He was a better dancer for sure, but enjoying it was the most important part anyway.
"I could tell you that you're the only girl I thought about asking to dance, though." That was true. For various reasons.
