The phrase "Tango Hog" was used recently - someone who keeps a partner on the dance floor for tanda after tanda.
I saw something like this happen once, let's say "Guy #1" is dancing with an attractive girl for song after song, and Guy 2 wants a dance, gets impatient and goes up to the pair on the dance floor, between songs, and says something. Next thing I see the two guys arguing in the kitchen about right etiquette. I'm guessing there was nothing happening between guy #1 and the girl. Even so, I don't think another dancer is really in a position to say anything without looking a bit desperate. And surely if the girl was unhappy she would have left the dance floor. I can see that a DJ being outside of a situation like this has the chance to say something to encourage changing partners (couples excepted of course), without directing attention at any pair in particular, or whatever codes a community decides on.
