Choices, choices, choices... what word would echo best shouted accross the dance floor? Suggestions?

The point is not that you insert a wiggle or slow turn here and there - it's the timing of it and the dissruption it can cause to the lead. How do you know if a man is ready for your wiggle to be unleashed on him?

Would you do it to a beginner? Would you feel the need to do it with an "advanced" dancer? Do you take over when you want to enjoy the music more than the dance?
