[Callers] Etiquette of refusing an offer to dance

[Don Veino]

I think that person was really saying "no, sorry; I'm a total self-centered
a-hole!"

When doing a beginner session, I cover the basic asking to dance bit and
then say something to the effect of

"You're free to decline for any reason - just say "no thank you" and move
on. You don't owe any explanation and trying to give one will just delay
that person in finding another partner."
