      According to the Memory Alpha article for this episode: "Gates McFadden and Brent Spiner did their own dancing in this episode, except for the overhead shots where Spiner requested a double, as he did not feel confident enough to pull it off. McFadden did the choreography, as she was a well-known Hollywood choreographer long before Next Generation. According to director Robert Wiemer, McFadden and Spiner also developed the lines in the scene, which were later accepted by the scriptwriters."

    People often compare Data to someone with autism and while it's not flattering to be likened to a robot I think the crew's interaction with Data to be quite accurate. People get surprised when he doesn't react like they'd expect him to but still go on to expect him to act "normal". Once you calibrate how you interact them you'll find yourself having pretty dang normal conversations.

      I think it’s always kind of weird when non-autistic people are like “oh this non-human character is autistic because they act weird” because they don’t really get what it’s like to actually BE autistic, but a lot of autistic fans relate to Data bc he was written with a lot of symptoms of autism. He’s very inexpressive, he has a flat affect, he doesn’t really get social cues or idioms, and his obsession with Sherlock Holmes could be interpreted as a hyperfixation/special interest.
      It’s a really common thing in sci-fi to make a non-human character display symptoms of autism because they’re supposed to act weird and alien, which is, you know, kinda shitty. You can see it a lot in Star Trek with characters like Worf, Spock and of course Data. It’s a weird trope but it is nice to see characters who act like you who aren’t just there for inspiration porn or the incredibly tired trope of “this child is autistic, but he’s a GENIUS who can do complicated equations.” (Data and Spock kind of fall into the latter, but it’s different, they’re characters outside of being smart)

    I'm a bit surprised that Beverly didn't understand that Data wanted to learn how to dance for the wedding, since it's Chief O'Brien's wedding, and Data is giving away Keiko. But then if she did understand that ballroom dancing would be appropriate from the get-go, we wouldn't have this amazing display of these 2 actors' talent and the punch line.

And watching this scene with McFadden tap dancing (she's a professional dancer) and Spiner (who also practiced dance) is one of the more enjoyable moments in the series.

    I like the idea that after Picard S3, Beverly and Data go tap dancing together. Here, Data is supremely talented at picking up moves Beverly makes, but doesn't have the emotional instinct required to make creative choices in his movements. Now that he does, it's nice to imagine that he can make the most of that with Beverly and genuinely find pleasure and joy in tap dancing with her.
