Lucifer hasn't danced in centuries.
Sure, he and Lilith used to dance around the house, and he'd do little dance parties with Charlie when she was little, but it was never, like, official dancing. They were all just doing whatever was fun.
He only barely remembers the waltz.
This isn't a problem really, it's not like he goes to many big dance parties.
...And then Charlie announces a giant dance party to celebrate the reopening of the hotel. Sure, Lucifer could just stand on the sidelines and watch, but surely most people would find it weird that the king would be refusing to dance.
Just as he's wondering if he should just opt out of going to the party via creating some disaster for himself to solve as an excuse, it hits him.
That lady that had come to the hotel on his first visit here- Mitzy or something? had mentioned that Alastor used to be quite a dancer.
Maybe Lucifer could... discreetly get a few tips from him.
Unfortunately, before he can even get past his first subtle jab at Alastor to try to get him to drop a dancing tip, Alastor immediately clocks what the actual issue is, causing Lucifer to panic, and hastily offer up a deal.
Alastor cannot tell anyone about this, and has to teach Lucifer how to swing dance. Lucifer, in return, only has to sneak into the Vee's tower, and steal a specific hard-drive.
If it weren't for the anti-angel weapondry the Vee's have recently installed- weapondry that still happens to work on a fallen angel...
