Well, a waltz wasn't too far from what Inigo had in mind..
But he does start moving pretty soon after, like he's sensing Tidus's anticipation, the way he's thinking about what's to come. Inigo makes sure to start a bit slow at first, just so the other guy can get used to it as Inigo drags him right along into the moves. It is a little like a waltz, or at the very least like ballroom dancing. Just the same pattern of steps repeating, Inigo gently guiding Tidus along when he steps forward or backwards, trying to nudge his body with the hand on his waist whenever he's about to change direction.
Still going slow too, just to make sure he won't walk directly into Tidus when they have to go backwards or forwards. But somehow it doesn't seem too patronizing. Something about Inigo's dancing ability and confidence makes it seem natural, like this is how he always does it, despite the slow speed. This may be the one situation where he's actually good at leading.
Sure, it all probably would look really stupid to any third party, considering the music they're dancing like this to. But Inigo doesn't care - even if someone would walk in right now, he might not even notice. He only has eyes for Tidus in the moment.

"What do you think? Is this manageable so far?"
