Depends on a couple of things:
- who I'm dancing with (Friends - it's generally two or more)
- what track comes on next (I've been known to grab the poor lovely partner I'd just been dancing with when I hear a gorgeous track hit and say "oh no, you're not going anywhere!")
- how well the first dance went!
That being said I did notice when I first started dancing, the norm in my local area was one dance, and on real exceptions, two. Then at one beach ballroom I bumped into a bunch of Southern invaders for whom apparently two was the norm. At the time I assumed it was a locality thing...
One the norm as Princess Fi said, but I have managed 2 or 3 with the same partner before - luxury of a lovely quiet floor and a couple of my favourite dancers putting up with me in the Blues room!

One is usual for me too, or 1.5 as others have said. However there are one or two people I know who dance two as standard most of the time - once you realise that it's disappointing to get just one, I always think I've done something wrong but I have been known to ask one guy for a third dance when my favouite track has come on and not been turned down, though was pretty knackered after three in a row!
To broaden things out a bit, what about asking someone to dance again later on? Does it depend on if it's a class night, freestyle or weekender as to how often you'll dance with them? And how soon before you worry that you're getting a reputation as a stalker

I generally want to dance again with my favourite dancers.
Whether it is at a class night, freestyle or weekenders doesn't bother me (although if I am at a weekender where there are dancers from miles away, or that I haven't seen for an age I might track them down more often), I just try to dance my way around all the new faces (if I can) attempting to remember who dances in my style, and adding them to my dance hitlist (where is the sniper smilie?)
I'm not worrying about becoming a stalker - I know I am one! I have even been known to trek around the dance floor 2 or even 3 times to catch a particularly elusive but favourite dance partner
So now you know my secret - I'm a dance sniper

PS I would like to qualify my answer in light of Lory's reply - I never stalk unless I like my partners
