It's pretty annoying for people to dance with such a clumsy partner.
I'm wondering if this is a romantic relationship, or a friend? And I'm wondering too where you met? I'm not sure that everyone has a natural ability to sense the flow of acceptable closeness, some places are harder than others. My husband always has said he is a clumsy dancer, I think he dances just fine. I wonder if you might be on the ASD spectrum? I don't know, it's just a guess.
