While it is not inconceivable that Moody would dance with a man, it is far less likely that JKR would write about it.  IMO, that does in fact meet the LOON standard.

Probably, yes, but it doesn't meet the exacting LOON standard of 
proof.  It is conceivable that Moody would dance with a man; there is 
no pronoun indicating Professor Sinistra's gender; therefore the 
question remains open.
