Some people are uncomfortable being forced to flirt with a person of the same sex. Some people are not uncomfortable. Those people who are not uncomfortable are free to dance with same sex partners if they choose, but it is their choice. Forcing people into a situation where they are uncomfortable makes them stressed and unhappy, which can translate to the people around them and increase the overall general stress of the room. If you are in a gender-free dance then the assumption is that you will be dancing with whoever, but most dances are not gender free.
