He smiled lopsidedly at her. "I promise not to step on your feet." As he led the way to the dance floor and claimed her hands in proper starting position.
Being trained for this kind of dancing by Mon Mothma and Bail Organa had served him well, especially in keeping his spine very straight and only barely touching his partner, depending on who it was of a given dance. Dancing with Jyn, who he was not only allowed but expected to touch, and they themselves didn't mind it, felt like something a bit different.
The dance finished, and Cassian stepped back and bowed to her, as all the male dancers were doing to their partners (once again, Imperial binary), and felt his heart thudding a bit in his throat and hoped he wouldn't have to speak right away.
