Is it correct to wander away from the ballroom with a dancing partner?
If you become delirious, you may wander.
Is the “shimmy” done in the best society?
Yes.
How?
Like a bowl of jello in an earthquake.
Should one try to dance if they do not know the steps?
No, that would brand you as a hopeless vulgarian.
Should one crack jokes about the ladies’ gowns?
