Nice story!
I can feel how fulfilling it was for the photographer to hear that
reaction.
Personally, I consider doing that type of photo job as a big challenge.

Soon after, I received a surprising e-mail from that dancer, apologizing
for her reaction, and asking how she can buy multiple prints for 4
photos. At some point, she was even considering an enlargement of one
photo (to a large size, above 8"x12", IIRC).
She wrote:
"It's ironic because I'm the one who snapped at you for taking my
picture. Sorry about that. Typically I absolutely hate having my
picture taken. But I had no idea these would turn out so beautiful-
esp. the black and white one."
Another great story Igor.
There's a local dancer who asked me not to take photos of him. I
generally do my best to comply, which can be challenging because his
favorite part of the room to dance in generally has the best light.
A couple years back he tagged himself in one of my photos on facebook.
He wasn't the primary subject, but was in the background. I apologized
for posting the photo, I hadn't noticed him in it, and he said no
problem, it was a good photo and he didn't really mind good photos being
posted.
Some people don't want any photos of them posted, some don't want any
identifiable photos posted, and some just don't want bad photos posted.
A couple of years ago at another dance event (PBEX) there was a young
woman that was seriously getting in my face about taking photos at the
dances. Long story short, other people told me that she had been causing
trouble for a lot of people, the event organizers apologized to me for
the way she had treated me and said that I should have told her that I
was one of the official event photographers. I hadn't formally signed
on, but they know me and in effect consider me "credentialled".
