Looking for Latin Dance partner

Dear Christine,
Greetings to you and the best of health for the coming years.
My problem is finding a dance partner. I am about to join one of the 12-week beginners’ courses in Latino dancing.
Not many people I know are into this kind of dancing. I do not want to turn up alone. Through your medium I hope to find a partner.
Thanks, Christine.

Dear Abisher,
Thank you for your confidence in this column to locate a dancing partner.
I must admit, this is the first time anyone has ever sought such through this medium, so I sincerely hope your request is successful.
I’m wondering, Abisher, if you don’t have a friend or close relative that you would like to go with as well.
Sometimes there are people close to us who may want to do these things but prefer not to say anything because they fear rejection. However, if you ask them, they would readily accept.
Please don’t think I’m trying to dissuade you from looking for a dancing partner. It’s just there are often people around us who can fit the bill for what we want to do, but we often overlook them because we fail to realise there are different facets to their personalities.
