I think is perfectly acceptable for a salsera to say no if she doesn’t want to dance, I do find it “offputting” for her to say “no” and then 3 seconds later say yes to someone else. Have the decency to wait until the next song. Additionally it may just be me, but I absolutely hate it when she says, “no, but dance with my friend!”

I just wanted to add a little bit about odors. Obviously if you take a shower you expect to smell nice and clean. But don’t forget the old adage “You are what you eat.”

If you eat huge amount of garlic or curry in your diet, you may actually emit a foul odor when you sweat, or even when you breathe!

So if you are planning to go out dancing, it may be better to lay off huge amounts of garlic and curry for a couple days before you go dancing.

And if you think that taking garlic tablets is any better, you are wrong. The garlic essence actually gets absorbed into your bloodstream, so you will still have garlic smells coming out of your pores and your breath.
