its an old Texas saying "Dance with the one that brung you" was a favorite expression of University of Texas football coach Darrell Royal. In sports, it means to go with the players and plays that result in wins. Molly Ivins wrote a book titled "You got to dance with them what brung you: politics in the Clinton years" (1998). Shania Twain recorded a song titled "Dance With the One That Brought You" (1993). The phrase was not coined by Darrell Royal. A song "I'm Going to Dance With the One Who Brung Me" was popular in the 1920s.

What does this quote mean - Dance with who brung you this dance?
"You dance with them what brung you" is an old saying which means it might be in your best interest to "Dance with"; or, go out of your way to show rightfully due gratitude and consideration, by your actions and words towards "them what brung you" or those who helped you, get where you are. The implied wisdom of that homily or sermon being, if one fails to show that rightfully due gratitude and consideration by actions and words towards "them what brung you", you may not be there for the next dance and find yourself back where you were before.
