between songs...
friend-1: "I KNOW what to do between songs." (clearly she knows about my well-this-is-awkward-it's-now-between-song-and-i-don't-know-what-to-do problem.)
i watch her show me the proper etiquette: "sigh..."
(phew, the next song is starting... 5 seconds... 10 seconds... ok we are good to go.)
--
me: "sorry, i know i am supposed to, and i know it is a cultivated skill, but, i don't know what to do."
friend-2: "no worries. we don't have to say anything."
now, whenever we dance, she looks at me, grins, and between songs, conjures the most corny lines EVER... "so, what's new?"

It's even harder and more awkward when you don't speak the same language. There are practical reasons for the sometimes unbearably long pause before the dancing starts for the 2nd-4th tangos, but I wish we could just get on with the dancing.
