Has anyone ever challenged you to something you are an expert at without them knowing it? If so, how did it turn out for them/you?

I'm not your stereotypically looking salsa dancer. People perceive me to be a nice shy Asian guy most likely due to my baby face and smooth skin.

To the story, I don't usually like going to the clubs b/c that's where the non-dancers who think they can dance go with their beer on one hand being obnoxious and sloppy on the dance floor and bad technique. Well this one night I go with friends and I'm just standing there dancing to myself when this loud fat older latin women probably in her 40's or 50's approaches me and grabs me to dance. As she's grabbing me, she's smirking to her friends and mumbling words to them. She proceeds to back lead/strong arm me to do spins and other moves in which I an calmly resisting b/c I'm not going to do the move off beat with bad technique. Especially with the follow (her) trying to backlead me to do it. She laughs in my face and asks me if I'm a beginner and if I even know how to dance and that I'm at a latin club and all latins know how to dance so listen to her b/c I need some lessons (all while laughing and smirking to her friends as if to show off how good she is and how generous she is dancing/teaching a peasant like me how to dance).

Unbeknownst to her, I've dance all my life and also travel to NY and LA to social dance. I've been trained by instructors from all over the world. I break my composure and whip out my double triple turns and grab her leading her in a series of advance turn patterns. I see that she's panting and stumbling while trying to keep up so when I spin her and wherever i see that she's falling or stumbling, I grab that side to support her putting her back on balance and immediately going into the next move and not giving her a chance to breath. I can see the shock look on her face the whole time along with her friends and see her gasping for breath as I bounce her around the dance floor. She's is not walking off the dance floor on me probably to save face.

When the song finally ends with her sweating like a monkey and panting, she embarrassingly thanks me for the dance with maybe 2 words and straddles off the dance floor to her wide eyed friends. She was quiet after that and for the rest of the night, I didn't see her get up once to dance.
