I think most important is whether you have a partner. If that is a partner going on, it is
very difficult to completly quit dancing....
Unless both of you...quit

I gave up dancing when I married the first time. My husband had had polio and could not dance. I later dropped him and took up dancing again. Then I got hurt and couldn't dance for several years. Now that I'm back (for several years now), I won't be leaving it again! I'll just take up Smooth more seriously when I get old.

MSC,

Indeed, after dancing for about 18 months, and after an out of state move, i did not go dancing for about 6 months. When i returned to the dance floor, i rediscovered dance and have been dancing ever since. I think the big question to ask yourself is why you are dancing ? Is it to please your partner, husband/wife, to be social, as a distraction from work, peer pressure or whatever.
I'd say to go to another studio in the area and check out the weekly party. Even if you don't dance much that evening but only watch the other people. Do you get excited listening to the music and seeing everyone else dance or could you care less about it.
On the other hand, if you have competed recently and have had several disappointments and maybe suffering from burn out, then that might be an entirely different reason to take a break from dancing for a while.

Just my 2 cents...

I think another question to ask yourself is why you don't want to dance. Is something bothering you? Is it something you can fix?
