Wash is already regretting this by the time they reach the dance floor. He likes watching other people dance, he likes the idea of dancing, but he's not good at putting it into practice. He hates feeling like he's being stared at or judged. And on the dance floor, he feels plenty of both. He tells himself that if he follows York's lead he won't look like a total idiot, but that doesn't do much to alleviate the awkward feelings.

He looks around at all the other dancers, then back to York, waiting for some indication of what he's supposed to do.
