I'm an author writing a book, which has a reference to James Bond that I'm trying to fact-check.
The reference is to a scene in a James Bond movie from the 1960s where he dances with a beautiful woman. Does anyone know of a Bond film from the 1960s with a scene like that? How about a scene from the 1970s?
I'm aware that he slow-danced with Fiona Volpe in Thunderball, however, I'm not sure if that's the scene stuck in my memory from childhood. My memory, which may be wrong, is of a more formal ballroom dance floor and I think the Kiss Kiss Club was very informal.
FYI, the book is "Every Man's Survival Guide to Ballroom Dancing." The reference is this: "Growing up, one of my first impressions of ballroom dancing was from a scene in a James Bond movie. Here was one of the most heroic, debonair, masculine images of a lifetime and, there he was, dancing with a gorgeous woman."
Any input would be helpful. Thanks!

I second that. I was recently re-reading a book I have about the Bond films (unofficial) that goes up to Goldeneye. NSNA, is the only film that has such a scene in a ballroom. - Bond (Connery) even specifically asks to dance one Tango with Domino (Basinger) as his winnings if he beats Largo at his own game. - Which he does.
"Better make that two."
Does Bond dance with Moneypenny at all in the series?
I'm trying to figure out all the times Bond dances in the series!
-Casino Royale, Ian Fleming
Are we counting CR67?
otherwise, no.
Although they do "fake" a dance while she's sitting in her office.
TB is the film where he dances most:
With an anonymous girl
Whose place is quickly taken by Fiona
who's just dead
But most romantically he dances with Domino
And of course he does again twenty years later in NSNA.
Not so anonymous as far as I recall.
Wasn't she the wife of a Nassau celebrity?

Who did her husband play in Thunderball?
Do you know what Bond film he 'fake' dances with Moneypenny is from. Is that Goldfinger?
-Casino Royale, Ian Fleming
Yes.
No, it's DN as ggl007 said above.
