I'm sure you could lead them to the bar to order your beer if you made eye contact with them all. Simultaneously of course
Oh, style
Er, yeah...
I have come to the gloomy conclusion that no amount of workshops or lessons can really teach it - only give you ideas. My style leaves a lot to be desired, but has improved massively as my posture and frame have improved - I believe that both must therefore be critical to being able to demonstrate good style. I love watching stylish dancers and sometimes wish I could make the same or similar movements feel more 'natural' to me. And have managed to acquire just enough style of my own to know that practice is the key thing for things you think you might like to add into your own style.
As far as picking partners is concerned - as my style isn't good enough to allow me to be too picky. If I'm looking for someone to ask, I really only take into account whether they look like they are leading smoothly and on time and having fun. Unless I know them/enjoy dancing with them, I tend to avoid asking guys who are more than a very few inches shorter than me (although will dance with them if they ask me!). Some moves just don't feel good (or look good) when the follower is significantly taller than the leader.
