Dancing with a friend

Hollie is it the sort of jive group where you don’t actually need a partner and you just dance with whoever is there?
If so, could you just go by yourself? You never know, you might end up knowing the other people there better than if you were stuck with your friend.
Your friend may be feeling she’s not very good at it and feels self conscious but doesn’t want to admit it to you.
I’m a great believer in ‘dance like nobody’s watching’ - because usually they’re not, they’re too busy concentrating on what they’re doing themselves
If you go by yourself, you might even find your friend realises she’s missing out and decides to join you after all.

I would just go along and see if you can find another partner. Tell your friend. Maybe she doesn't realise how much you liked it and will give it more priority in future.

It's hard to know what others are thinking if they don't say isn't it?
You probably haven't done anything.
Do you have to go with a partner or are there others you could dance with? If you enjoy it don't give up!

I think you need to find out if she wants to give up on this so I would just ask if everything is Ok. Sadly some people aren't good at honouring commitments.

Perhaps she's not so keen hollie and is scared she might upset you and the arrangement you'd organised. Some people find it hard to explain without offending. Just tell her it's alright and let her suggest what she'd be comfortable or happy with.
