Some people are uncomfortable being forced to flirt with a person of the
same sex. Some people are not uncomfortable. Those people who are not
uncomfortable are free to dance with same sex partners if they choose, but
it is their choice. Forcing people into a situation where they are
uncomfortable makes them stressed and unhappy, which can translate to the
people around them and increase the overall general stress of the room. If
you are in a gender-free dance then the assumption is that you will be
dancing with whoever, but most dances are not gender free.

In my experience these dances increase the stress level, I would
recommend against calling them.
Could you expand on that?
