writes:I am a dancer and I work with my dance partner. We are working on a dance production together and work on many productions together professionally. The big problem is the increasing sexual tension between us. He is married, no kids. I am single. We must work together closely in a very sexually charged environment. How can we both avoid falling into a physical affair when we must practice and perform together? Dance is very sexual and I am afraid we are in between a rock and a hard place. It has become very difficult to perform with him and use our bodies as a form of expression through dance without feeling the mounting sexual energy. We are both trying to remain professional and not linger eye contact, refrain from looking too much at each other, remaining mechanical but the tension does not go away. We both now feel very awkward around each other and this is very uncomfortable.Can anyone please help?

 Just because you feel the sexual tension when dancing doesn't mean that when you are off stage (or not rehearsing) that you need to do anything sexual.
If you can't change dance partner then you need stick to being "professional" about it and ignore it.
