Mid-Term Assignment....I Just Wanna Dance!

I just got done meeting with my group, Allister and Liz, for my mid-term project in P-Comp. The assignment is to observe something and answer a series of questions about the action we are observing. After a 20 - 30 minutes brainstorming session with ideas ranging from:
turn on a TV
open a door
shaking hands
walking
using a breathalizer
opening combination lock we agreed on "dancing."

We all agreed in having similar situations of indirectly and directly observing people dance. I personally wasn't sure where we would be able to go with this idea until I left the group and sat down to start my ICM homework. Then I remembered Allister and Liz talking about the situation when a guy or girl has trouble communicating with a dance partner. Since dancing is typically a non-verbal action, the communication between partners is usually non-verbal, so could there be a non-evasive device that could be used to communicate with dance partners????
