can't handle sth (context)

A guy shows some simple dance moves and a girl asks if he can dance. He answers: You can’t handle it. What does he mean? Don’t even try to dance with me because you can’t? You’re not going to understand it? I can’t dance?
Context: he dances to the music from his car near some house. She’s not close to him so I don’t believe she/he wants to dance together.

tyomyeky You can’t handle it. That normally means 'you can't understand it', 'you can't deal appropriately with it'. In your conversation, it does not make much sense unless there is a greater context.
