Sounds more like nerves, then.  When I feel my partner (man
or woman) getting tense, I start humming to the music.  Or
I'll play with up/down movements to create a flying
sensation (with an occasional sound effect).  I try to
signal that I'm relaxed and trying to have fun, which
they'll often pick up on and reflect back.  And, of course,
nothing more than simple walking, check steps, until
they're relaxed.

You're right about not letting her feel that you're bored. 


Good luck,
Trini de Pittsburgh
