Have any of you been romantically involved with your dance partner and then split up romantically, but keep dancing together? I know of a very high
level pro couple that were involved romantically, split up, but kept dancing together--for about 8 years now--they are champions now. They kept dancing for the money and fame, but what about us at the lower levels of dancing?

I am not so sure this works so well for everyone. Maybe on Seinfield with Jerry and Elaine remaining friends, but what about real life. I have never kept up with an ex girl friend and when we split up we don't hardly ever see each other again. But with dancing and the small dance communitys, lack of trained partners, difficulty in finding a partner--strange things happen.

Dancing or competing with a ex girlfriend or ex boyfriend can create all sorts of problems--especially jealousy with their new boyfriend or your girlfriends or old feeling cropping up between you two--even if it is one sided. Is it even realistic or practical to keep dancing together after a romantic breakup. It's even weirder than remaining friends with an ex husband or wife--most are closer to their dance partner than a wife or husband. Has anyone pulled this off or do you think it's more trouble than it's worth?

You're not really expecting an easy answer to this, are you? There is only one possible answer to this question and that is, it depends on the couple. There are obviously going to be couples that could go on just fine with each other as partners and then there are couples that shouldn't even live in the same state after a break-up. What works for one couple is probably not going to work for another.
