Omg !!!!! That is soooo coool !!!!!
I would love to have one certain partner, but I take public lessons , we are very short on men .

Expect - You shouldn't expect too much . Each person dances differently . He will have his own styles of moving and leading . That is the good thing about dancing with different people , you can have a different experience.
Wear - A flirty and elegant dress. You shouldn't wear a dangly necklace , it may get caught. Wear shoes that are comfortable and can glide . Wear your hair in a flirty up do . With some curl . Don't put on too much make up . You don't want him too think of as anything but you , be comfortable with what you wear .
Act - Most important - Be ready , don't get nervous and act like yourself. Don't forget your manners and charm . Show him the real you .
More - Ask him questions .
Where he grew up ?
Where he went to school ?
How long has he been dancing ?
What is his favorite dance and song ?
What music he likes ?
What he does for fun ?
* But don't ask too many questions. Let him ask you some without feeling rushed .
More - Most important - When meeting a person people tend to forget things . Make a list of things to bring or even say . Don't forget to brush your teeth !!!!

Good luck !!!!
Have fun !!!
I hope everything goes well !!!
Ps. Where do you dance ???

Wear high heel shoes, and anything you can stretch in. Act normal, just be yourself.

Just be yourself. The WORST way to first meet someone is to not be who you are.
Wear what you think you should dance in. High heels, stretching outfits, and bring lots of water, not to mention a snack. In fact, why not bring two snacks, one for you and one for him?
A good thing is to be nice, to get him excited for those Thursdays. Maybe even ask for more classes. All you really need to know is to make sure he only touches you about how much he needs to, and not just for laughs. I'm sure you'll do FINE. Just be happy, be energetic, be willing, and be YOURSELF!

Have fun!

Oh gosh, good luck! My first dance partner was so sweet, and all he did was be himself. Make sure you wear plenty of deoderant *lol, that was a given, but still, you dont want to stink and drive him off*, and wear some cute high heels, and maybe a very cute, snazzy dress, but not the prom kind, maybe the kind thats short. Also, talk to him, but dont give him tips. Let the teacher do it. Good luck! Write to us and tell us how it went!

Just be friendly, when practising dont act too pushing or competitive, just relax and be yourslef. To prevent any awkward silences write a list of questions you could ask him before you meet him, such as: where do you study/work? How many dance aprtners have you had? etc

Good luck!!!
