You and your partner in this activity together, and you should treat them the same way you want to be treated. Respect is essential in a partnership. This means that some things are better left unsaid 🙊.

Disclaimer: This article is made you put a smile of your face. But, leaving all laughs behind, I encourage you to discuss anything that bothers you with your partner, as long as you pay attention to how you say it. Communication is necessary if you want a healthy partnership.

Now, here are a few things that you might want to not say to your partner:

1. My last partner was leading me much more smoothly.

2. You look like my last boyfriend/girlfriend.

13. Why is it taking you so long to learn that? It should be so easy!

14. My dad doesn’t like you.

15. Maybe you should quit dancing. It’s not for you.

16. See that couple? Make sure you hit them in Quickstep.

17. I don’t trust your thinking.

18. Ugh, your boyfriend/girlfriend annoys me.

19. I don’t care what we do in the next comp.
