Let me try and answer that will a little humor...
"He didn't know if it was a gun in her pocket or she was just pleased to see him, but neither option looked good."
Ok, first my "disneyland internet world" reply...
Sure I would go for it! I am sure none of the other paying customers will mind being surprised to find a CD in their class. A few guys may not be comfortable, but that is their fault for not being open minded.It is your right to be there and society should get used to these types of issues.Yakity, yak yak...

Alrighty then, now for my common sense "real world" reply...
I would place a courtesy call to the instructor of whatever studio you wish to attend and describe the scenario you want, and will present when/if you attend group classes. Then see what options are offered, which I would predict will be private instruction.
It does not require detective skills to understand the potential issues the studio/instructor might face, by your presence. At some point,( which is generally every point, lol) empathy and common sense comes before fighting or inviting an ACLU battle. It is just a dance class, not a dance class & gender awareness training class. Some customers may not find dancing with a CD as entertaining as we would, particularly with no advance warning.
anyway...yes, I grew up in a pretty "affluent" school district. Everyone took ballroom dance lessons before proms, dances, etc. Also attended lots of civic functions and parties on yachts in Miami (parents were socialites of sort...)where ballroom dancing was routine. I just enjoyed dancing with all of the hot women those events attract...lol.
Plus, I was also shipped off to a military academy for high school years. I spent my share of time out on the ballroom floor, "Officer and a Gentleman" style in my dress uniform and spit-shined shoes...
