Last Yule Ball, Lily had learned that Mary Macdonald wanted to ask Emma Vanity to be her date, but was too afraid of others' hostility to try. (With good reason, as Mulciber would exemplify.) Lily shared this with Remus in trying to think of how to help, and the upshot was that Remus and Sirius went with each other.
(In solidarity and support, from Remus; maybe a bit to drive all the Slytherins crazy, for Sirius.)
Sirius had taught Remus how to dance, and he actually did it pretty well.
Thing was: as Sirius's date, Remus only knew how to follow.
So, having been too bewildered to do otherwise, Remus found himself standing on the dance floor; he automatically put his hands and arms and feet in the appropriate positions, but then he just… stood there. Not knowing how to explain any of this or whether it was allowed to suggest Tonks take the lead.
