How to Avoid Dancing with an Undesirable Partner
*Take advantage of the noise in the ballroom- Pretend not to hear him when he asks you to dance.
*Hide from him- It is undignified, but if he cannot see you, he cannot ask you to dance.
*Let him know that you are not interested-If you must dance with him, do not put yourself out to be charming. Remarks on the weather or the state of the roads are sufficient. You need not please him: in fact, if you insult him, he most likely will not ask you again.
