hi all,
i'm a male dancer looking for a female partner for training, socials and competitions
i got a few replies for my partner add from girls who are in a relationship.
how much of an issue is it to be partnering with a partner whos in a relationship?

any bad experiences

if you are lonely then it will be a problem

If you're not interested in the possibility of a relationship with the woman you spend so much time dancing with, go for it.

well, what is a polite way of saying NO after a tryout??

Tryouts are kind of like job interviews, so both people involved shouldn't take them too personally (although that can be difficult advice to follow....). Anyway, just say no. You don't need to go into any big explanation, just be polite, like "I'm sorry, but I'm going to keep looking for someone else." If you say too much, you run the risk of saying something that's really rude and hurtful. "No, I don't think this partnership will be right for me" is also a plenty good answer.

thanks laura

Why would it be an issue if one (or both) of the dancing partners are in a relationship? Isn't a dancing partnership for dancing only?

You go girl!
