Richard I think it needs to be Dance & Stab, if you stab first you won't be dancing.

John:
The sequence of events at the establishment usually unfolds something like this:
1. "Bobby Joe" sees "Joey Bob" sitting at the bar with "Betty Sue."
2. "Bobby Joe" likes what he sees in "Betty Sue" and invites "Joey Bob" outside to discuss the sitution.
3. The discussion quickly ends with one of the two men stabbing the other and leaving him there to bleed in the parking lot [thus the "stab" in "stab & dance"].
4. The "victor" returns to the bar and asks "Betty Sue" to dance.
5. While the "victor" is two-stepping with "Betty Sue" on the dance floor [thus the "dance" in "stab & dance"], a friend of the "loser" calls 911.
6. A few minutes later, two Deputy Sheriffs arrive in their patrol cars, followed by the EMS ambulance and a third patrol car in hot pursuit to serve as backup.
7. The first Deputy on the scene questions the victim (assuming he has not by then shuffled off the mortal coil) and turns him over to the tender mercy of EMS personnel.
8. "Betty Sue" retreats to the women's restroom and locks herself in one of the stalls.
9. The Deputies enter the establishment and interview any witnesses willing to talk, verifying names, addresses, and telephone contact information for the incident report.
10. After sifting the facts from the lies they are given, the Deputies approach the "victor," who by then is stitting alone at the bar, to make an arrest.
11. Seeing the Deputies approaching him, the "victor" bolts for the back door, little knowing that the backup Deputy has arrived and is waiting outside with a riot shotgun and a pair of cuffs.
12. The "victor" is arrested, cuffed, placed in the back of a patrol car, and carted off to jail.
13. On the morning of the next day of court business, the "victor," now wearing "stripes and shackles," appears before the judge for arraignment, consideration of bail status, and scheduling of preliminary hearing or trial. ("Betty Sue" will usually have thought of some reason to avoid being present in the courtroom to support her "champion.")

Variations on that theme happen nearly every night at the friendly, neighborhood "stab & dance," where love is a many spendored thing.
