Personally I'd always prefer a so-so dance with someone rather than a refusal but perhaps this is down to the fact that I don't ask strangers that much and it is usually only a "I must dance to this track" that forces me to, in which case I expect to put in the most I can and if my partner doesn't respond then I know not to ask again. (I hardly ever ask anyone again if they refuse me).
However, I find it really rewarding to dance with someone who appears really morose/absent and make them smile if I can, for whatever reason !
