slow dance
Couples hold close
A slow dance is a dance performed to slow-tempo music, typically with partners holding each other closely and swaying or stepping gently.
At school dances and weddings, slow dances mark romantic moments: He finally worked up the courage to ask her for a slow dance.
The verb follows naturally: They slow danced to the last song of the night.
