Of course, that is assuming that you and Charles even agree on the definition of the words "affection and romanticism"!
I agree But, although Charles has a good point, not necessary we need to share affection to decently dance AT. What about if I'm not very romantic? The only affective energy that motivates me to dance is the one towards music, art, harmony and beauty. Any other kind of affection has to be deliver or demonstrated with caution specially if we are not dancing with our closed friends or our beloved one.
