Thanks for your input. It was hesitating if I should tell him the truth or make up a story. I will try to tell him the truth, at least part of it. Because I just can't say "I don't like how you dance."

I had to do the same thing at one point, with a terrific guy. With my friend though, it seemed like he was regressing, and I was getting pretty presumptious about it, and was always mad at him, and he didn't need that kind of attitude from a partner. Also, I had decided that I wanted to do Pro/Am and wanted to focus on that. (It also helped that he liked doing performances, and the teacher had 2 or 3 ladies who were better suited for him, physically, and attitude-wise.) But he understood, the worst part was the guilt I felt.
But you need to do what you need to do, just don't make excuses. Tell him the truth, and encourage him in what he is doing right (or to take lessons.). But it's your money and your body, and you have every right to get the most out of them for dancing.
