"On the ballroom floor you allow liberties to men that you never allow them elsewhere. You grant them liberties on the ballroom floor that if a man other than your husband would attempt them in your home & hour husband would find you at it, he would have no trouble securing a divorce, & if he shot the man no jury in the world would convict him for it."
~Reverend Billy Sunday, on the Tango, 1915
