#but he is not at the same levels as all those spiders who can trapeze around NYC

Ok I think him having a foundation in dance when he was a kid just from learning late 19th cen stuff already gives him a bit of dexterity to start with. You gotta be coordinated and (assuming he's the lead) you gotta be thinking. Social dance is all improv so you need to be able to judge your own self, your partner, and convey the next move you're trying to do on the fly.

While other spiders are really acrobatics based, Pete gets in there and brawls. I think being able to judge another persons movements from up close would benefit him here pretty well. And the thing about brawling is that you've got your knees bent, you're a bit lower to the ground, your bouncing on your toes and well.. thats actually the proper lindy hop stance as well! While ballroom dances are more European with straight posture and higher held hands, lindy is derived more from African dances which have a totally different stance

cant believe i havent gone more into depth w dancing for the noirverse before. my 2 joys r colliding so fast and powerfully that im vibrating out of my skin
