I discussed this thread with my wife and she said that if you want
to be asked to dance again, never turn down someone who asks you
to dance.  Some of them went out on a limb to get up the nerve
to ask you.  Others who did not have that nerve may also be watching.

One of the clubs I talked about where this is forbidden dances
as a singles club (though some people are married).  They want
partner acquisition time to be spent before taking up a slot in
a square.
