Sometimes I sing a few phrases to my partner to suggest or emphasise mood (please don't let this put anyone off!!)

e.g. 'Come Fly With Me' has great ideas for interpretation - if you can get on a 'let's fly together' wavelength you might both feel like interpreting the dance in a very 'light' manner rather than robustly dancing with no reference to the lyrics. Often little more than a moodful "doo-be-doo-doo" than lots of words. Sometimes works . . . (Fred Astaire seems great at it, but I'm sure there's a lot more to it than the simple stuff I manage. Have also seen Nigel Anderson 'sing' to his partner in this way and I like studying his interpretative techniques.)
