I might add that it's especially hypocritical for any man to have a problem with their girlfriend/wife dancing with other men when they themselves look at porn - which features other women (whom the viewer jacks off to, no less)....

 If the relationship is weak to start with, then maybe. If it is strong and trusting, then most likely not. Dancing is great physical exercise and can make people feel self confident and aware of their bodies in way that may pay dividends for the strong relationship.
I honestly don't watch much dancing on the tube, but ballroom dancing seems to be two people who rarely look at each other, touching only at the hands and backs, keeping strict distance between them. The tango, now that is another matter...
If it makes your partner feel good about her/himself, and your relationship is strong, why not let it happen?

reader, anonymous, writes (28 March 2008): Aah I see. She's wanting dancing lessons I presume, but the type that involves another guy, and you're NOT the other guy? You know, (I realise you're from America) here in Britain there are shows like 'Dancing On Ice' and 'Strictly Come Dancing', and I've often wondered how their partners feel about them being so close to other people. Personally, I'd be quite annoyed and jealous if my boyfriend was a dancer (Lol, had to laugh at the sound of that) and was so up close and personal with girls in sexy dresses. So I can see where you're coming from.
But let me say this. It will only effect your relationship if you let it. You can either take it as 1) She's into this type of dancing and would love to learn, or 2) Oh God, she's going to be dancing in short dresses with another guy. I can understand if you're worried! So you've got to talk to her. I'm sure she's only into it for the dancing, because to be honest, I'd love to learn professional dancing, like ballroom or something, or learn to tango or quick step. If I ever did, it's not the guy I'd be doing it for.
You've got to understand, dancing is generally a feminine thing, and a lot of girls I know would love to be able to dance like you see girls on the telly dancing. So if your partner ever did learn, you'd have to trust her. Jealousy can break up a relationship - so you've either got to bare with it and hope that the feeling of jealousy goes away. Or you say you'd rather she didn't, and hope she understood. But like I said before, it's going to effect your relationship, but it's your choice how. Sorry for all the presumptions by the way, I'm just assuming your woman is the partner in question.. Good luck :]

 I seriously doubt it... but why not take dancing class with that partner?
