Opportunity dances with those who are already on the dance floor.

The line frames “opportunity” not as a random visitor but as something that responds to readiness and participation. The metaphor suggests that people who are already moving—learning, practicing, showing up, taking small risks—are the ones most likely to be noticed by chance openings and to capitalize on them. It also implies that waiting passively for a perfect moment is self-defeating: the conditions that make opportunity usable (skills, networks, momentum, confidence) are built in advance. In a broader sense, the quote champions initiative and preparation as the practical companions of luck.
