I am not a good dancer, but have helped at Ren Faires, because our dancers are mostly college kids in dance classes, but sometimes they can't make it and I always help out. People are shy, and don't want to participate, but with a very heavy Scottish accent, and humor, we get them to dance. "how often can you dance with a guy in a skirt?" "Come with me and dance, so I don't have to go chasen rabbits for me stew!" Or to get a boyfriend or brother to come out, "You aren't going to let this beautiful young lady dance with a guy in a skirt, come join us!" We make it look like fun, because it is.
But as far as getting burnt out, like mentioned above, you are doing it because it is fun. I haven't seen people leave or leave rudely, but our leader explains what we are doing and ads a little humor too. I hope you get some other responses here too. Hope something helps you.
DALE.
You don't have to be Scottish to be comfortable!
