That is what I meant and nothing more.

Oh, good attitude. It's just George so it's okay to have noodle arms and only vaguely know which way to spin her. Nice. ...Yeah, I guess it won't do you any good to spin ME around. I mean, I could demonstrate it on you, but then you'd just be backwards. Hmm.

...that isn't what I meant! You just said...ksjfd it's not like I'm gonna be dancing with lots of other people!!

You might be, you don't know! In the future or something. It's no good to half-ass stuff anyway, you might as well get it right if you're going to do it.

I kinda doubt it. I'm NOT half-assing it, though! I thought I was doing pretty good!

Maybe there'll be a dance competition at some island in the future and Nami-san will make us all enter so we can win the prize money -- what then, huh??

...

Then me and George can just be partners together!

It's the type of competition where you CHANGE partners!

...you're thinking WAY too much about a really far-fetched scenario. I wanted to learn because it looked fun and you said George liked it! Not because of some imaginary dance competition that will never happen!

...Right, sorry. But it COULD happen!

I kind of doubt it.

...this is just you HOPING it does so you can dance with lots of girls, isn't it.

And I don't have NOODLE ARMS.

Yes you do.

Here, pay attention to how I'm doing it this time.

HOW?

...that's the same thing I DID!

You do because I say you do!

No, it's not. You need to be more...CONFIDENT. You're in charge, you have to direct where she goes! And keep your eyes up, you have a habit of checking to make sure your feet are doing the right thing. Just know they are, so you don't have to worry about them.

...that's not a reason.

I have to DIRECT--isn't that a little...I dunno. Pushy? What if she'd rather go a different way??

How am I supposed to KNOW they are if I can't see it?

Shut up and listen to your teacher.

It's not pushy. There has to be a lead when you're dancing, otherwise both people will just do whatever they want and you'll end up tangled up and tripping over each other. It's not like you're forcing her or something weird, you just...I dunno, kind of tell her where to go with a gentle touch or by spinning her a certain way, and that way you know how to position yourself to catch her or pull her back in.

That confidence thing. And didn't I just tell you that you're doing that part well?

Oi. At least EXPLAIN things so I'll have a REASON to listen to you, if you're gonna say stuff like that!

They're just...NOODLE ARMS. They're too relaxed!

...how's this, then?

Oh - just practice on me, geez.

...you sure? You don't exactly look like you're a fan of that idea.

You'll hit GREAT once you've practiced more.

I'm practicing NOW!

...see, I almost tripped that time! That's why I was trying to watch what I was doing!
