one shouldn't have to sacrifice one's own participation in an event just because of one individual.
Well, yes, one does. It's not necessarily fair, but it's the etiquette for all dance. I don't do squares, or at least not modern western ones, but I have to assume the etiquette is the same as Emily Post once wrote. One is always free to say no when asked to dance, and a reason is not required, but it is rude to then dance with another person.

Strictly speaking, that's dance etiquette.
