If I don't know my partner, I often look in the general direction of their face, it's more polite, less intense.
Eye contact makes a huge difference. I always try to make lots of it. Some guys get more than others though!
I really hate it when the guy doesn't look back at you. For the follower it seems like they are bored but in reality I guess they are just concentrating.
Me too! Lots of Edinburgh men look at the floor when they dance.

We're trying to make sure we don't trip over our feet
It's a classic beginner mistake in all dance forms - I know I do it a lot in Tango. It does terrible things to your posture, I know
Perhaps more likely they're looking at the ladies feet (or shoes).... We're trying to make sure we don't trip over our feet ..
Not exactly eye contact, but it does have some benefits for the ladies.
I was guilty of this last night. I was asked to dance by a man the same height. He chewed gum with his mouth open for the entire 3 minutes *shudders* My vision was filled with his moving white wad. It wasn't nice. I was looking at the ceiling, the floor, other men, other women.............anywhere but at him.
I think he may have noticed. I'm not expecting him to ask me ever again.

Must admit I'm not a huge fan of chewing gum; I know that this is a little off topic, but isn't it a bit rude to be masticating when dancing with someone?
It wasn't easy to see my feet, I had some obstructions in the way.oh so thats why ! Thought you was in pain.
Think the words your looking for are man breasts.....
ONLY JOKING PLEASE DONT START IM A DELICATE FLOWER, IVE ALREADY BEEN CALLED UGLY.!!!
I don't mind people masticating when they dance with me, so long as they don't make a mess
Remember some folks use the stuff to give up smoking. I think it's better to chew on the floor than smoke by the entrance way, and come back and smell stale and horrid with everyone you dance with
True, but they could be a bit more discreet, rather than treating us to the full tumble dryer effect described so graphically by Ms Chain. (I think I've danced with him as well.Remember some folks use the stuff to give up smoking.

Chewing Gum is the New Smoking!
Some women look so nonplussed as they dance and chew they could be lay down in a field ruminating.
No, No and Thrice No!
It must be used to keep their brains inactive in case they found they enjoyed dancing.
It looks HORRIBLE don't do it! Stick it behind your ear or the bedpost as Lonnie Donnegan suggested but don't dance chewing at some one!
Aha! Does your one (inadvisably) wear black and white shoes too?True, but they could be a bit more discreet, rather than treating us to the full tumble dryer effect described so graphically by Ms Chain. (I think I've danced with him as well.
They're always inadvisable, IMO. I don't think I've noticed his feet, can't think why!
So. . . .
Apart from
. . . . . . Not Smoking
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .Not Chewing
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Not Wearing Spats
. . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and Trying to make Eye Contact
What can your Partner do for you?
Oh yeah
Don't wear Shorts
. . . . . . .Don't wear Vests
How could I possibly forget those two chestnuts?
Damn!
There's always watch out for other dancers!
ooooh with all these things to worry about I may drop the smiling inanely and just stick with a neutral face!
No one will complain about that will they?
Neutral faces are very scary to dance with, you have no idea wheather your doing the right thing, wrong thing etc....remember dancing with someone who had a full face mask on at the Brechin masked ball, couldn't make out any facial expressions and felt really strange
Eye contact can be very good but it depends if your partner is comfortable with it, think I inadvertantly scared a few people with too much eye contact after going to ceroc straight from an argentine tango lesson
No, but if you were to have bad BO, they wouldn't even need to look at you to be affected
(Not that I'm insinuating anything at all - I'm sure that you smell just lovely...)
