That’s a hard call–ballroom teachers need to be in close proximity to their students and I’ve seen plenty make adjustments. And like you say, older guys like flirting with very young women. But in this case, I’d say he’s overstepped the boundaries. You need to find a new teacher.
And anyway, at that age, how current can he be in the industry? You can find dozens of really great teachers and competitors in Cali; and honestly, if you’re serious about it you should be dancing with someone who is top-ranked nationally. Send me a private message, and we’ll talk about it if you like. I don’t want to leave my email in this public forum, but for real. This isn’t right.
Trust your instincts.
Most older men are horn dogs, they don’t act on it, but they do little things that your suggesting. It makes them feel younger. My husband’s grandfather would look at younger women and say if only I was young again she would be in trouble. Although no one should feel uncomfortable, so maybe in a round about way talk to him, or the next time he plays with your clothes ask him not too. If it really gets carried away, then yes find a new instructor.
