Also, that 5x02 sneak peek thread was so misleading... It could be the first time she dances at a ball, as well. Remember Leopold and her didn't have a great relationship, and then she killed him. If she was at balls, she probably never danced. Well, we might not put it past Cora to actually make her dance with random nobles at the ball. After all, she did try to teach her lady-like things, I doubt she would forget to have her go to a ball. Except that it probably went more like this:

Regina is dancing around by herself.

Cora walks in.

Cora: "What are you doing?"

Regina: "I'm dancing, Mother."

Cora: "Well stop, you foolish girl. Dancing is a waste of time, and besides you have two left feet."

Regina: "It's just for fun."

Cora: "Exactly. You have far more important things to do than have fun. Someday you will be queen, and you'll want your subjects to respect you. Dancing doesn't help with that."

Regina: "But I want to do it."

Cora: "Well, to bad. Dancing is weakness, and as your mother, I have to save you from it."

Regina: "I hate you, you never let me do anything."

Regina storms off.

Cora: "Someday you will understand I only do these things because I want the best for you."
