If they decline, lead something else.

Of course, if they keep declining there's no dance. And if they throw in too many exciting bits, then that'll kill any plans for musicality -- but then feel free to throw in your own unexpected embellishments in that case -- salsa shines are brilliant for that

Argentine Tango dancers tend to express the ideal dance as: "One dancer, four feet".
