You can usually tell men who are used to dancing with ladies with long hair. Every time they spin her, the head subconsciously moves back by a couple of inches out of the way...
Leaving it down is the least painful for the man (and can provide some welcome ventilation!) but is almost guaranteed to get caught in the man's hands at some point. I wouldn't worry about missing a signal - a man should never assume a signal has been seen. If he wants to make sure, he should stick to leadable moves.
A plait can be deadly, but by far the worst is braids! And yes it does hurt.
A french plait is better than a simple plait, as it tends to be shorter and a bit lower down. Wearing the hair up would seem a good idea, but most men aren't used to it, and would almost certainly catch it with their hands.
A pony tail is a good compromise - it tends to keep the hair a bit more under control, and doesn't hurt.
