One very specific reason was given the other week when someone refused a dance by saying: "David Bailey has just caught my eye - sorry".
Mere mortals stand no chance in the face of such an eye catching prospect...
Interestingly, at the DB tango lesson I attended, he had explained how at Tango events, asking for a dance is a bit different compared to Ceroc - and that it would often be a long range (well a few metres) mutual eye contact & connection.
It might be partly a tango influence, but I often agree a dance by eye contact. In those situations, the invite has been given and accepted and to then accept another dance invitation would be in effect to refuse the first.
It can get a little confusing for newbies though, to explain that you have already agreed to dance with someone who isn't actually standing beside you, so if a beginner asks me I would smile an apology to the person I'd agreed to dance with, and dance with the beginner.
